Glassfish already does something very similar with add-resources
subcommand. I filed this issue in 8/2006, trying to simplify its use:

https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=930

> asadmin.bat help add-resources

NAME
     add-resources - creates the resources specified in an XML
     file

SYNOPSIS
     add-resources
     [--terse={true|false}][ --echo={true|false} ]
     [ --interactive={true|false} ] [ --host host]
     [--port port] [--secure| -s ] [ --user admin_user]
     [--passwordfile filename] [--help]
     [ --target target]
     xml_file_path

DESCRIPTION
     The add-resources command creates the resources named in the
     specified XML file. The xml_file_path is the path to the XML
     file containing the resources to be created. The DOCTYPE
     must be specified as in the resources.xml file.

     This command is supported in remote mode only.
