There is a way to do this in the aop/mc integration. You just do: | <bean ...> | <annotation&gt;(a)org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMX(exposedInterface=whatever.class)&lt;/annotation&gt; | </bean> | But this is just proof of concept test code. Another mechanism (without aop) would be to add a BeanJMXDeployer in the deployer list that looks for an annotation (or something else like an XMBean definition) and does the JMX work for the bean.
