OK. This helps me understand the needs. The Reflection idea is very interesting and allows the server to be a generic plugin.

At one point (although I don't see it now), the Avalon web site mentioned interest in a Telnet server for Phoenix. It also mentioned the telnetd server that is on SourceForge.
I'm curious if that interest was still there and what are the expectations regarding the server's functionality.
I was the main one interested in it I think and I have no imediate need for such a beast atm. However I would love to see see something that could inter-operate with phoenix ;)
I'm curious as to what the use of a telnet server for phoenix would be. Text-based management console?
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.
