[infinispan-dev] getting ISPN config as XML via JMX

[Pete Muir]

As I said, for Martin, it's better to test the cache functionality (end-to-end testing) vs unit testing this.

This is going to be a lot harder to support as we move away from JAXB. It would be better to make an inspector or reporter for the cache config imo.
