After having looked at this - I think that the best solution would to be refactor the layer such that the management view ends up with a view that represents the deployment (-ds.xml). This would mean that the 'config-property' entry will only be available for tx-connection-factory and no-tx-connection-factory deployments. That way we don't have two ways of doing the same thing - like Emanuel's post shows. Lets focus on getting the management view for datasource deployments correct for 5.1.0.Beta1 as they will cover most deployment. If time permit we can look into incorporating specific property descriptions. We can pick up the remaining areas for the 5.1.0.CR1 release.
