On the other hand, the properties file associated to hm-nav.js from the hm-nav.js listing needs a
special treatment: nav-lion.properties is a reserved name for properties files that contain text
associated to the navigation panel, and since hm-nav.js is adding content to it, add the text in the
file hm-ui/src/main/resources/com/hp/hm/io/lion/nav-lion.properties. The following nav-
lion.properties listing shows the content of the nav-lion.properties file.
nav-lion.properties:
# Navigation category: Health Monitor
c-hm = Health Monitor
n-hm = Health Monitor Things
n-hm-task = Health Monitor Task
Integrating Views to the SDN Controller GUI
In order to integrate views to the HP VAN SDN Controller an UI extension needs to be registered
so the framework hooks the views into the controller’s GUI. The SDN Controller SDK provides a
SelfRegisteringUIExtension class that can be used to subscribe the application’s views. The
following UIExtension.java listing illustrates the way of subscribing the user interface.
UIExtension.java:
package com.hp.hm.ui;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Component;
import com.hp.sdn.ui.misc.SelfRegisteringUIExtension;
@Component
public class UIExtension extends SelfRegisteringUIExtension {
public UIExtension() {
super("hm", "com/hp/hm/ui", UIExtension.class);
}
}
Some dependencies need to be added so SelfRegisteringUIExtension can be used; open the hm-
ui/pom.xml file and add the XML extract from the following UIExtension Module Dependencies
llisting to the <dependencies> node; after updating the POM file update the Eclipse project
dependencies (see Updating Project Dependencies on page 146).
UIExtension Module Dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.hp.sdn</groupId>
<artifactId>sdn-adm-rs-misc</artifactId>
<version>${sdn.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
