3) Using ObjectName.quote() is probably not the same thing. It would lead to a mangled and probably unreadable ObjectName. 4) The correct way to not register (sub-)deployment/components in JMX is to remove the @JMX annotation from the DeployersImpl bean in conf/bootstrap/deployers.xml If the DeployersImpl is not registered in JMX then neither will be the deployments. This has nothing directly to do with the bean. It is letting you look (using JMX) at what deployers the deployment/component went through, the attachments (deployment descriptors) associated with the deployment/component and maybe how long the processing took for each deployer if you enable the stats. It's just debug information so it is optional. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4230450#...
