The emergence of middleware solutions and new services even on small devices will need adapted distributed management solutions which address these specificities, both in terms of software design and in terms of performance. We propose a management system where these high level and low level management concerns are separated.

The high level management part relies on messages interception mechanisms which, coupled with Aspects Oriented Programming concepts, provides facilities for management applications to dynamically operate, enhance and manage JAVA based applications. The management is transparent for the application which doesn?t need to be modified to support management operations as we take advantage of both the JAVA introspection mechanisms and the facilities some Aspects Frameworks offer.
