I reassign this to Ann. Ann, please evaluate, and the close this bug and file new issues for each individual one that should be corrected. Issue a) The panel is the same size as the one on the servlet wizard. Ann, if you agree that it should be made to cover the whole page, please file a new bug. Issue b) Zikmund, I agree with you and I had originally implemented it this way. Ann requested that it be this way, on the rationale that the user should be able to finish as early as possible (filter's must have mappings to work but they don't need init parameters). However, we're sacrificing consistency in the UI here, so that's a questionable benefit. However, it's up to Ann. Issue c) This has been fixed in both wizards, see issue 38324. Issue d) I think we need more detail on what you're referring to. I suggest you discuss this with Ann. A) I think that the size of the table is fine as is b) it is consistent with the servlet wizard in that it lists the class name, object name, and then mapping. Since Init Params didn't fit on this page.. it got bumped. d) assign back to zikmund to give more info. Karle, can you please give Ann the information she is requesting? Thanks. OK, sorry for being late with explanation. My next comments are only what I think and what I don't like from the UI point of view (and I feel it's a little bit "nonstandard", but it's questionable sure, I know it): 1) no 3D effect of this component: white right & bottom line of the "Init Parameter" box should be thinner (see "Class Name" edit box on 3rd page) or it could be combined with gray line between wtihe line and the box content. When you have 2 init parameters you can see that the white box content is joined with the white border (that's why the 3D effect is broken). 2) headers "Name and "Value": they are more narrow than the field in table -- I'd prefer same width of headers and fields in the grid. Anyway when dragging a column, you can see, that the dragged header changes its with to the normal width ("standard"). 3) There are missing gray lines on the right and at the bottom of the values' grid (see when you have 2 values or more). 4) Full row select [I think this one was reported by Ann elsewhere, but I'm not sure] -- when you select one line, you can see the blue selection only on the other part of line, it's a little bit confusing. 5) Filter Mappings - 3D effect Same component, I think: The white bottom & right white line of the last mapping should be thinner or combined with gray line as "Class Name" edit component (same as case 1). 6) Filter Mappings - double click should cause Edit action [I think it should be another issue maybe] I'd prefer to open Edit dialog on double-click on a row to be more consistent with Init Parameters and to be better handled by a mouse. Now there's no any respons to double-click. -- I know, it's only a personal point of view and I'll accept other opinions sure (e.g. closing all of them as WONTFIX ;-). And I know, that some (if not all) of these comments could be part of Look&Feel behavior and have nothing to do with webapps or netbeans -- my original (d) issue was a question about what we can do with this and if it is our part of work. All the UI behavior is consistent between the New Servlet and New Filter dialogs. I personally think this is a strong candidate for wontfix. Reporter, please let me know if that would be acceptable. Without requested information for long time - INVALID. We can't do anything in this case. Reporter, please add requested information and reopen issue. Thanks in advance. |
