Hi Sam,
First, sorry it takes several iteration to get all the information. It
really shouldn't be that complicated to avoid network access from the
console as it sounds.
Let me give a summary and the suggestion here.
1. Stop admin console from making any network access. This is
resolved in issue# 11057 : Need a way to specify no network access in
GUI <
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11057>
Adding
<jvm-options>-Dcom.sun.enterprise.tools.admingui.NO_NETWORK=true</jvm-options>
will result in:
* Regardless of registration state, there will be no popup reminder,
no registration tree node, no Registartion in common task.
* GlassFish News will not be shown in the tree node nor the common
task page
* The information frame under Common Task page will not be rendered.
All of the above is part of the 'core' admin console
application. This is working as expected and verified by you.
2. UpdateTool functionality
As Admin Console moved to make use of the OSGi architecture,
updatetool functionality is implemented as a plugin module. The
application (console) itself shouldn't know what needs to be done in any
plugin. So, all you need to do is remove the updatetool plugin module
if you don't want any updatetool feature in the console. However,
this plugin module is part of the "glassfish-gui" IPS package, and one
cannot just remove this particular module. I will file an RFE so that
this updatetool plugin module resides in its own IPS package and can be
add-on or un-installed easily. As a workaround for now, just remove
console-updatecenter-plugin.jar. You can do this:
* cd glassfishv3/glassfish
* mv modules/console-updatecenter-plugin.jar
modules/console-updatecenter-plugin.jar.ORIG (or remove this jar)
* rm -r domains/domain1/osgi-cache
* rm -r domains/domain1/generated
* bin/asadmin start-domain
The above steps should make the console behaves as what you expect.
I still think there is issue with the update tool itself. The
configuration file location and format should be made public so that
user can modify it to set proxy information. As of now, as pointed
out, there seems chicken and egg problem regarding having to start it up
to set the proxy but updatetool cannot be start up due to network issue.
I hope you can try one more time doing #1 and #2 as mentioned above and
see that it fits your need. Again, sorry to take that long for
providing the above information.
thanks
Anissa.
