Totally right on this one, i actually laughed out loud recalling some stuff i've seen. I will do some research and see if something nice is available, maybe on Gnome or KDE projects. If you can do them that would be awesome, but lets look around a bit first and see if there is something done that will save us some work. I was also doing some thinking on the decoupling of the functionality for administration and configuration. Basically the general architecture and not the actual implementation. I was wondering if we could profit from using a Command interface with an execute() method, and a CommandInterpreter class that you basically pass the parameters and the Command name to and it will grab and instance of the class and call its execute method. Command classes would return a Result object that can contain a status property ('success', 'failure','in progress'), a message property (for error messages for example') and a data object (ArrayList of names, integer count of users, etc). This type of decoupling will allow us to reuse the different Commands so that they may be called individually, say for example in 'change postmaster address', or as a group (for wizard purposes), executing one after the other and making sure they are all successful upon execution.T This 'multicommand' concept would nicely fit inside a Command object. Having Command objects will allow us to also decouple the mechanism that does the calling, so we can have one implementation of the caller that is used by RemoteManager and another used by JMX, etc. Additionally, this keeps the code for each actions nicely partitioned inside each Command object.
