Abstract
A method and system employing an object-oriented approach to remotely controlling storage management services in a content management system. An Application Programming Interface (API) is used to communicate between a system administrator client and a resource manager, so that a system administrator can, e.g., start and stop services, check the status of services, etc. The API and resource manager exchange information, for example by exchanging XML documents by HTTP posting.
