This is James specific, and would belong over in their camp, right?

This is very much on the "To-Do" list. IMHO, I think a proper Security 
framework has a bit higher priority, especially since remote work would 
require it, but I guess one could put in some rudimentary security checks 
first, and then upgrade the Service Management Solution when the security 
framework is in place.

I would say that the first step would be to make Merlin JMX capable, meaning 
that it should create MBeans on-the-fly for the components that are 
instantiated and expose the methods declared in the service interface.

I think all this would sit in the avalon/merlin/activation/impl... 
You would be dealing with what Stephen calls the Appliance, which is a kind of 
manager of the block (was it?).
I assume that when the Appliance is created, the MBean is created at the same 
time, but this is way beyond what I have dug into so far...

Cheers,
Niclas
