ManagementMessage protocol v1

[TimVinkemeier]

Hi,

I would like to use this issue to collect requirements for the Management protocol as well as define it.
Currently, I agree with @farhaven in the idea to use a simple JSON format with commands and parameters.
This could look like the following:

{
   "command" : "set-configvalue",
   "parameters" : 
      {
         "name" : "compositionspecification",
         "value" : "<XML string>"
      }
}

or:

{
   "command" : "get-configvalue",
   "parameters" : 
      {
         "name" : "compositionspecification"
      }
}

which would return:

{
   "command" : "get-configvalue-result",
   "parameters" : 
      {
         "name" : "compositionspecification",
         "value" : "<XML string>"
      }
}

What do you think of this?
Please comment and let us know what requirements you have!

Best,
Tim
