== Integration Point Reference

This appendix provides reference information about integration points,
which are described in
link:extending-the-admin-console.html#ghmrb[Extending the Administration Console].
Define an integration point for each user interface feature in the
`console-config.xml` file for your add-on component.

The following topics are addressed here:

=== Integration Point Attributes

For each `integration-point` element, specify the following attributes.
Each attribute takes a string value.

`id`::
  An identifier for the integration point. The remaining sections of
  this appendix do not provide details about specifying this attribute.
`parentId`::
  The ID of the integration point's parent.
`type`::
  The type of the integration point.
`priority`::
  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering of integration
  points with the same `parentId`. A lower number specifies a higher
  priority (for example, 100 represents a higher priority than 400). You
  may need to experiment in order to place the integration point where
  you want it. This attribute is optional.
`content`::
  A relative path to the Jakarta Server Faces page that contains the content
  to be integrated. Typically, the file contains a Jakarta Server Faces code
  fragment that is incorporated into a page. The code fragment often
  specifies a link to another Jakarta Server Faces page that appears when a
  user clicks the link.

[[ghmwa]][[GSACG00146]][[org.glassfish.adminguinavnode-integration-point]]

=== `org.glassfish.admingui:navNode` Integration Point

Use an `org.glassfish.admingui:navNode` integration point to insert a
node in the Administration Console navigation tree. Specify the
attributes and their content as follows.

`type`::
  `org.glassfish.admingui:navNode`, the left-hand navigation tree
`parentId`::
  The `id` value of the `navNode` that is the parent for this node.
  The `parentId` can be any of the following:
+
  `tree`;;
    The root node of the entire navigation tree. Use this value to place
    your node at the top level of the tree. You can then use the `id` of
    this node to create additional nodes beneath it.
  `registration`;;
    The Registration node
  `applicationServer`;;
    The GlassFish Server node
  `applications`;;
    The Applications node
  `resources`;;
    The Resources node
  `configuration`;;
    The Configuration node
  `webContainer`;;
    The Web Container node under the Configuration node
  `httpService`;;
    The HTTP Service node under the Configuration node
+
[NOTE]
====
The `webContainer` and `httpService` nodes are available only if you
installed the web container module for the Administration Console (the
`console-web-gui.jar` OSGi bundle).
====

`priority`::
  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering of the node on
  the tree, whether at the top level or under another node.
`content`::
  A relative path to the Jakarta Server Faces page that contains the content
  to be integrated, or a URL to an external resource that returns the
  appropriate data structure for inclusion.

For an example, see link:extending-the-admin-console.html#ghpmb[Example 3-2].

[[gjkff]][[GSACG00147]][[org.glassfish.adminguirightpanel-integration-point]]

content for the right frame of the Administration Console. Specify the
attributes and their content as follows.

`type`::
  `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanel`
`parentId`::
  None.
`priority`::
  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering. If multiple
  plug-ins specify content for the right frame, the one with greater
  priority will take precedence.
`content`::
  A path relative to the root of the plug-in JAR file to a file
  containing the content for the right panel. Alternatively, it may
  contain a full URL which will deliver the content for the right panel.

[[gjkfq]][[GSACG00148]][[org.glassfish.adminguirightpaneltitle-integration-point]]

=== `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanelTitle` Integration Point

Use an `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanel` integration point to specify
the title for the right frame of the Administration Console. Specify the
attributes and their content as follows.

`type`::
  `org.glassfish.admingui:rightPanelTitle`
`parentId`::
  None.
`priority`::
  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering. If multiple
  plug-ins specify content for the right frame, the one with greater
  priority will take precedence.
`content`::
  Specifies the title to display at the top of the right panel.

[[ghpkh]][[GSACG00149]][[org.glassfish.adminguiserverinsttab-integration-point]]

=== `org.glassfish.admingui:serverInstTab` Integration Point

Console. Specify the attributes and their content as follows.

`type`::
  `org.glassfish.admingui:serverInstTab`
`parentId`::
  The `id` value of the tab set that is the parent for this tab. For a
  top-level tab on this page, this value is `serverInstTabs`, the tab
  set that contains the general information property pages for GlassFish
  Server.
  For a sub-tab, the value is the `id` value for the parent tab.
`priority`::
  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering of the tab on the
  page, whether at the top level or under another tab.
`content`::
  A relative path to the Jakarta Server Faces page that contains the content
  to be integrated.
  When you use this integration point, your Jakarta Server Faces page must
  call the `setSessionAttribute` handler for the `command` event to set
  the session variable of the `serverInstTabs` tab set to the `id` value
  of your tab. For example, the file may have the following content:
+
[source,xml]
----
<sun:tab id="sampletab" immediate="true" text="Sample First Tab">
    <!command
        setSessionAttribute(key="serverInstTabs" value="sampleTab");
        gf.redirect(page="#{request.contextPath}/page/tabPage.jsf?name=Sample%20First%20Tab");
    />
</sun:tab>
----
  The `id` of the `sun:tab` custom tag must be the same as the `value`
  argument of the `setSessionAttribute` handler.

For examples, see link:extending-the-admin-console.html#ghplc[Example
3-4] and link:extending-the-admin-console.html#ghplu[Example 3-5].

  page, which is `commonTasksSection`.
  If you are adding a single task, the `id` value of the task group that
  is the parent for this tab, such as `deployment` (for the Deployment
  group).
`priority`::
  A numeric value that specifies the relative ordering of the tab on the
  page, whether at the top level or under another tab.
`content`::
  A relative path to the Jakarta Server Faces page that contains the content
  to be integrated.
