I'm reposting this message because apparently attachments do not make it through the list server. Instead you can download the jar file from
http://swt.dk/download/jaa.jar (Please use the full link and save the file to your file system)

For configuring users and virtual hosting you could access the database, if you have one set up for James.
Alternatively you could use a socket to connect to the remote manager port.
I have written a telnet client that connects to the Remote Manager, and I'm currently writing a Swing interface for this. It is not finished yet but this thread has prompted me to release a demo (the attached jaa.jar). No source code, though, until I have finished the GUI. If you like it, I will then release it under the ASL. In a matter of a couple of weeks, maybe...
You run the jar file this way:
- Ensure that you have James 2.2.0a12 or -a13 running on localhost
- Ensure that the Remote Manager is listening on port 4555
- Invoke the program by typing 'java -jar jaa.jar' on you favorite command line.
The java files were compiled with Sun's JDK 1.4.2. The testing was done against a James 2.2.0a12 but -a13 should work as well whereas 2.1.3 will not show aliases and forwarding destinations (my telnet client is - of course - extremely dependent on the text strings that the Remote Manager sends).
As others have remarked, this is *not* the way James should be administered. We need an API and we need JMX. But for now the Remote Manager (TTT - The Telnet Thing) is all we have, and I need a somewhat more managable user interface than the bare command line for my customers and for my teaching.
TTT is far from secure . This is why the program currently is hard coded against localhost:4555.
Again, it's not finished, major functionality is missing. At any rate please let me know what you think.
