In my local workspace I can add an annotation in the mc/managed api like: | package org.jboss.managed.api.annotation; | ... | @Target({ElementType.TYPE}) | @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) | public @interface ManagementObjectClass | { | /** The class annotated with ManagementObject */ | Class code(); | } | Then update the mc/org.jboss.managed.plugins.factory.AbstractManagedObjectFactory to handle the indirection from the ManagementObjectClass annotation to the real ManagedObject one. Will this be picked up whoever calls the ServiceMetaDataICF.getManagedObjectClass(ServiceMetadata md) method? If yes, no change would be need there. Or have I missunderstood what you want?
