Ok, thanks for the clarification. Well, the RARDeployer doesn't use the old MBeans, it's the XSL and DS deployers and that's not going away anytime soon, at least until I start migrating things over to MC/AOP. The programmatic deployment stuff was supposed to be an interim step along the way but once I started really looking at it things were not as straightforward as I initially thought.
