I'm not following the example then as it does not match the existing jca metadata/managed object view. What exists logically is: | @ManagementObject | class DSDeployments | { | @ManagementObject | List<ConnMetaData> deployments(); | } | | @ManagementObject | class ConnMetaData | { | @ManagementProperty(name="jndi-name") | String getJndiName(); | | @ManagementProperty(name="security-domain", managed=true) | SecMetaData getSecMetaData(); | } | | @ManagementObject | class SecMetaData | { | @ManagementProperty | @ManagedObjectRef(type="SecurityDomain'); | String getDomain(); | } | Somewhere else there needs to be a type="SecurityDomain' managed object with a name that matches the SecMetaData.domain value. If the @ManagedObjectID(type="SecurityDomain") annotation is identifying the key space of the managed objects of type="SecurityDomain' then I follow. Otherwise I don't.
