Re: [Exist-development] eXist-db old admin webapp

[Joe W. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi all,

As discussed earlier, I've created a .xar-based app that provides the
same functionality as the Browse Indexes panel in the old admin
webapp.  It's available from:

  https://github.com/joewiz/indexes

To create this app, I used the eXist-db app template in eXide 2.0.2,
copied the old indexes.xqm module from the admin webapp into the
modules collection, and made minimal modifications in order to make
the app work and incorporate basic bootstrap CSS styles for the tables
and forms.  It took about an hour.

I haven't yet updated the app to work with Wolfgang's new Lucene 4
range indexes, but I think that's probably the next major addition
that's needed.

Comments & pull requests welcome.  I'm not sure if the core devs want
to use this same approach for the other panels from the old admin
webapp, or if you have other ideas in mind?  Please let me know how
you think this could be most useful.

Cheers,
Joe
