This already exists, albeit in a very alpha form due to other  
priorities:

http://dev.rabbitmq.com/viewmtn/branch/changes/com.rabbitmq.management

Basically it exposes the rabbit_access_control module via an  
asynchronous RPC over AMQP mechanism.

So you program against a Java interface which is backed by a dynamic  
proxy that initiates an RPC request via AMQP.

On the Rabbit side, you have a generic RPC handler that invokes the  
correct module in the address space of the server, which in turn  
returns it's response as the bottom half of the RPC.

 From a client perspective, because you are programming against a Java  
management interface, you don't even need to care whether it's AMQP or  
whatever.

The reason why I used AMQP as a remoting technology was twofold:

1. Rabbit already speaks it
2. An AMQP implementation *should* eat its own dogfood :-)

HTH,

Ben
