This looks like a usecase for the profileservice. So if the profileservice doesn't do what you need it to today, I think we should at least investigate what changes would be required. - Presumably you want those runtime changes to also persist across app restarts? - What sort of "reconfiguration" are you looking to do? Change property values? - Would it be acceptable to annotate properties you wanted to be able to change, so the profile service knows they needed managing? Or does that count as a "hard API dependency"? Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4191847#...
