Webdav admin interface
Just another wacky idea but... Webdav clients are becomming more common. Webdav is being used for admin like tasks ( http://metzner.org/projects/xincon/ ). I wonder if you could wrap webdav around Management GBeans/JMX/? and give access to Geronimos internals in a similar manner to the /proc interface in Linux. Would it add anything or just be a cool bit of code? :-) cheers lyndon -- Into RFID? www.rfidnewsupdate.com Simple, fast, news.

I wrote a whole telnet implementation for OpenEJB 1.0 once with hopes of doing something like this. This is a whole other ballpark. So could we actually do something like execute components in the kernel from bash? (please say yes, please say yes) -David
Re: Webdav admin interface
We experimented with this with WLS, it worked pretty well. The nice thing about webdav is that you can mount it as a file system from windows and OSX. We also tried a similar experiment with ftp which also worked pretty well. However, you generally want to script admin commands and there are a lot of other java-based scripting options out there which can just use JMX directly. andy At 05:09 PM 7/20/2005, Lyndon Samson wrote: Just another wacky idea but...
