A few weeks ago I noticed that the coregui module of RHQ, which is the next generation web interface written in GWT (SmartGWT to be precise), started to have its compilation slow down…noticeably. Not only did the overall time to compile the module increase, but during the build my box seemed to more or less locked up. Even mouse gestures were choppy. So…I decided to investigate.

Alexander Kiefer started working on supporting the Nagios monitoring system from within RHQ. The idea here is not to plugin the Nagios plugins directly into RHQ, but [Read more... ]

To continue the discussion on our use of GWT for RHQ I wanted to explain our success in directly utilizing the domain objects of RHQ in our client side code. With GWT allowing us to write our UI view code directly in Java there's even more advantage in direct access than with some of our other client technologies. We were able to reasonably easily get our domain module to GWT compile making it possible to use these objects in the generated client-side JavaScript and to serialize them between the tiers. A little bit of maven setup and we're of developing code that will run in the browser that is as direct and rich as swing development.

For the next version of RHQ we have been prototyping with the GWT UI technologies that I hope will improve the capability and usability of the RHQ project. The development is still in early stages and we're planning to roll out the new UI technology over the course of several releases along with the other major feature development.

Autocomplete is a feature that I can not live without. It must be the curse of using better and better IDEs and phones. Not that I'm too lazy to type out the rest of a command, but something drives me nuts about the inefficiency of having to do it when I could use that time to do something more useful. So when it came time to write the command line interface for RHQ last year I knew it was a feature we had to get in there somehow.

I decided to revisit that Byteman prototype from a few months ago and build it out further.
With this RHQ-Byteman integration, you can now do remote byte-code injection into any Java virtual machine.
The uses for this kind of thing are boundless - from tracing how long it takes for a Java method to execute to testing an application's fault tolerance by forcing test exceptions to be thrown.
