Can you easily add X11 packet forwarding with the AppLogic console's ssh command; not from a web shell, but from a real SSHshell?
In other words, I'd like to use "ssh -X ..." into the AppLogic console shell (after initially establishing keys, etc.)... and then ssh to my component from the console (possibly using another -X, if not provided by default)... and have the console's ssh session preserve the X11 packet forwarding that my initial SSH wanted to setup.
This would allow component-hosted Java and X11 (eg. menu) windows to be visible on my desktop. In many instances, customers would not be able to route X11 packets over the Internet, so this is probably the only way to do it- at least the only way that I can think of without exposing the component directly to the Internet and doing an ssh into the component. Things like Oracle's universal installer and other component-served Java and X11 windows, etc. would be able to make great use of this.
Thanks again!
