Gang, I am having some trouble getting certain features in the Http Facility to work, and needed a runtime view of the internals of things.
So, I took some old code I have laying in around since 1998, twisted it a bit and made it into the Reflector Facility. The Reflector is a kind of poor man's JMX. It allows you to traverse any public fields, as well as getXXX() fields inside your application. You can also change values or instantiate/assign new objects, but that is ONLY so if the field is public or the class has a proper setXXX() method. I will continue by refactoring it, since the code is pretty messy, but all-in-all it is a pretty nifty tool for server side troubleshooting. Except for breaking apart some concerns, and the special handling for Map, Collection, Dictionary and arrays, I will also attempt to XMLize the data, so we can plugin some neat looks later, or use the raw interface for other purposes later. You should be able to view a small demo on Alex server at http://karasulu.homeip.net:8080/inspect/ (note, the trailing slash is significant atm) In this demo, only the "composition model" is registered as a root object, but any object in an application could be registered as a root.
