Ok, this is working in rough draft form. This still requires quite a bit of testing but at this point a new | org.jboss.resource.deployers.ManagedConnectionFactoryDeployer | has been created to read/parse the *-ds.xml file and create the MBeans. One thing I did have to do was leverage the ServiceMetaDataParser to manage MBean definitions within the *-ds.xml file. Rather that simply redo all this work I just leveraged the existing API. The parser is JAXP based and is optimized for JDBC based deployments. The underlying MetaData model is straightforward. Note, all meta data generated is now kept in the RARMetaDataRepository and associated with the ConnectorMetaData pointing to the actual RAR.
