Bobby,
When I joined the team and started sorting through this I wrote this
page which, I think, is reasonably accurate (although it could use
some updating):
http://wikis.sun.com/display/GlassFish/V3CLILandscape
You extend CLICommand when you want to write a local command that
runs only in asadmin (not in the DAS).
You implement AdminCommand when you want to write a remote command
that runs in the DAS. The admin framework takes care of all the
wiring that needs to happen to make your command known and
invokable via asadmin.
Your case sounds like the later case -- a remote command.
Hope this helps,
Joe
