If jboss-beans.xml works,
When it works. :-)
I unfortunately haven't found the time to do this before 7.0.0.Final.
But it's getting higher on my TODO list. :-)
then basically a bean defined in that could do the deployment of e.g. datasources programmatically, just like the mbeans in JBoss AS 5 did, couldn't it?
I don't see why not.
A bean could definitely do the same ops as CLI client.
It wouldn't be able to invoke ops from its start() method -- it would have to use a separate thread and not block start() waiting for that thread to complete its task.
If a service (i.e. this MC bean) that is installed as part of executing a management op (i.e. deploying an MC deployment) tries to invoke an management op during its start() method, it will deadlock the management layer. So it's forbidden. See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-876 for what happens when it's attempted.
