Here's the Nice Stuff about SMAPI :
* It's good code from an accuracy point of view.
* The architecture is well factored.
* It's easy to extend.
* It's officially supported and really supported because IBM uses it
themselves.
SMAPI with custom extension can be the backend of a complete remote
system management solution.
Maybe it's too slow to be practical for certain kinds of things. I don't
think that's the case but my
definition of "too slow" is "would cause a browser accessing the PigLet
servlet to time out waiting
for the return document" and that's NOT what's happening for me.
Everything is dandy.
SMAPI is very nice, it's straightforward, and since I didn't know
better, I've already written a complete
open source client for it. So I intend to continue down that path
towards a PigView Web 2.0-style
operations navigator.
