The api is associated with the profile service and is rooted at the org.jboss.deployers.spi.management.ManagementView. There is simple org.jboss.deployers.spi.management.ManagedObject representation of a bean's management interface. How the ManagedObject is obtained for a component is a function of the deployer associated with the component. So far we have not gotten to how the deployers extract the ManagedObject from a deployment metadata. We'll have to define annotations and schemas for this. Adrian did create a org.jboss.mx.mxbean.MXBean prototype that illustrates some concepts of the jdk6 MXBean: http://download.java.net/jdk6/docs/api/javax/management/MXBean.html http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=89432 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3971435#...
