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? :-)

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.

Oh my... that Linux davfs module has me drooling. 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)
