A method of directly administering a service component through a hypermedia document can include a series of steps. The hypermedia document can provide an interface to a service logic execution environment (SLEE). At least one administrative option embodied in the hypermedia document can be provided. The at least one administrative option can correspond to a function to be performed by the service component. A user specified administrative option can be received in the hypermedia document and a SLEE compatible event can be generated based on the user specified administrative option. The event can be a type which the service component has been registered in the SLEE to receive. Also, the event can be routed to the service component via the SLEE. The service component can process the event and perform an administrative function consistent with the event.
