there are 4 beans which may still need to be injectable from the configuration file: - JBMSecurityManager - MBeanServer - JNDIServer - Naming We have our own implementations when running in standalone but these beans will have to change their implementation when we run JBM in JBoss AS 5 (i'm not sure that'll be the case for the 2 jndi pojos but they also define properties in the configuration file) All the others are implementation specific and do not really need to be exposed from the conf.
