Managing over HTTP

Hi folks.

Is there some built-in functionality for managing MBeans through HTTP protocol ? Thus I could invoke methods on MBeans remotely through HTTP using non-java apps ? Let's say my company has some desktop VisualBasic application and wants to manage my MBeans in JBoss remotely through HTTP POST requests?

I know that JMX HttpAdaptor does something similar, but it is complete web application that generates complete web pages in reponse, thus meant to be used only by browser...
I read JBoss book, and it offers variety of attaching protocols on JMX MBeanServer, but it seems the client has to be java app with proxy classes that cover underlying protocols (that can be HTTP), but that's not what I'm looking for ...

Thanx.

jboss.net includes an MBean adapter that uses soap.

Never used it myself.

So it's true that all this DetachedInvoker facility works ONLY in case of JAVA client apps ?

Thanx a lot.

All the current invokers are written in java.
Nothing to stop you writing one that is not.
