Development of an extendable JSF Application (Plugin/Addon architecture)
843844Feb 6 2008 — edited Mar 10 2008Hi everybody!
I want to develop an extendable JSF Application. My idea is an application which can be extended by adding modules (plugins / addons) to the basic application. a module can either consist of additional Managed Beans or JSPs. It should be a coherent package like a .jar or a .war-File.
My solution idea is to create a page with an upload dialog which allows to parse the modul packe, save the different files into the deployed basic application folders and restart the application server.
What do you think about this? Does anyone know a better solution to solve my problem? Is it for example possible to access the managed beans of an application with a different web context?
best regards,
Defrian
