So this management interface for the binding manager becomes an abstraction that allows a management tool to configure all ports/interfaces in the server via a central location. Do you see this as providing the ability to update the ports of running components (assuming the component supports such a thing). That is, SBM currently updates interfaces/ports when an mbean is deployed. It has no ability to subsequently update the mbean. You could add a management interface to this to improve upon the -bindings.xml-based configuration without adding any ability to update installed components through it.
