Running server-side Powershell scripts via Java Applet?

Question

I'm looking to see if there's a formal/proper way to run a Powershell script on server-side from a client Java Applet?

Powershell offers some great stuff, and up until now I've been using just a PHP form to execute the scripts but it causes funny behaviour with the Applet (for example running the destroy() portion of the Applet).

Also, a return from the Powershell would be great to display in the Applet. Cheers.

Perhaps, use System.Management.Automation and JNI4Net for bindings? Because interacting with powershell.exe via console redirection is error-prone.
