That was my original design. The application server I wrote before phoenix
actually used such a thing. I used telnet + simple reflection to write the
server.
ie When you issued the following command over telnet
> displayClient 2
It would search through a biunch of "management" objects using reflection
looking for a method of form
public void cmd_displayClient(String[] args)
{
}
and execute it if found. If there was multiple objects with same command you
could prefix command with object name like
> server.displayClient 2
And this would only look at the "server" management object for the command.
It was a simple system and remarkably easy to add things and get things going.
