[jboss-dev-forums] [Design the new POJO MicroContainer] - InstanceClassFactory extension to the ManagedObjectFactory

In order to deal with wrapping metadata instances like the ServiceMetaData class, I need to add an InstanceClassFactory plugin to the ManagedObjectFactory. This allows for the management annotations to be on the underlying mbean instance: | public interface InstanceClassFactory | { | /** | * Return the Class that represents the root ManagedObject to scan | * for management object related annotations. | * | * @param instance - the instance a ManagedObject is to be created for. | * @return the Class that represents the root ManagedObject. | */ | public Class<? extends Serializable> getManagedObjectClass(Serializable instance); | } | This allows one to mark up the instance the mbean service wraps. The alternative would be to assume the ServiceMetaData jmx representation is the ManagedObject. I don't think that is generally the case as the interfaces were more a description of the bean service rather than the management interface.
