We experimented with this with WLS, it worked pretty well. The nice thing 
about webdav is that you can mount it as a file system from windows and 
OSX. We also tried a similar experiment with ftp which also worked pretty 
well. However, you generally want to script admin commands and there are a 
lot of other java-based scripting options out there which can just use JMX 
directly.
