I've started a small three-class project called the CLI Resolver. It binds EL to the AS7 management model, allowing end users to write their own web admin console in JSF. It's really easy and often doesn't even require any java code.
Before anyone asks, it's not meant to replace or compete with the current web console. For a number of reasons, we can't use JSF in the domain controller. But it's a nice option for those who want something customized to their own requirements. Let me know what you think.
