Hi there, thinking of an admin style interface to a red5 app.

Is it possible to have a servlet running on the red5 server, which when called via http, can interact with an existing red5 app and scope?

For example, I have a chat application with various users. Is it possible for me to make a http call, to a servlet running on the server, and pass it a query string containing the id's of some of the site's users, and then that servlet would in turn, update the "users" shared object for that room (e.g. changing a property such as "avatar_approved")..

I don't know a great deal about spring, tomcat, or servlets so this may be obvious to the Java boffins..

This is desirable to me over remoting as remoting implies I need to communicate with AMF, and therefore use flash.. if I could do this sans flash, I could execute admin functions (such as approving pics, setting status's etc) from my existing ruby on rails server, with no need for the kind of sillyness I used to need using flashcom (such as polling a db to check on status, avatar changes, etc).

So, is this possible, and where do I start looking?

Many thanks for your time reading, and possibly responding to this,

George.
