I agree.
I'm not sure about the *long term* plans for remote administration, but it
seems to me that an API based approach (eg using RMI - or possibly JMX?),
is superior to both Telnet and modifying the database directly. One major
problem with modifying the database directly is that you'll need a different
servlet if you ever decide to change how the User Repository is stored (eg
xml, ldap).
Have a look at Buchi's RMI stuff - there's a simple client which serves as an
example. With it, you could code your servlet directly against the
"UserManager" API, which is much cleaner, IMO.
