This is reflection/serialization where we've taken apart the object to split its state into "primitives". The issue is how do we reconstruct it. e.g. | @ManagementProperty | public void setSomething(Interface i) {} | | public interface Interface | { | void setInteger(int i); | void setString(String s); | } | This is a composite with two primitive properties, but we don't know what the implementation is. There are two options 1) Create a proxy http://viewvc.jboss.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/jbossas/trunk/mbeans/src/main/... 2) Allow somebody to define what the implementation class is (or a factory to create one) The proxy approach doesn't work for collections since they aren't javabeans.
