Not sure what anonymous wrote : or else how jboss will be set to set its value means, but could you please explain what goes on behind the scenes that implements the persistence, when there is a declared setter method? I don't mind having a setter, but I don't want to expose it the JMX console. I found out that there is a way of addidng secutity to the console( by using filters) but that's not good enough. Is there a way to customise what's displayed and what not on the JMX console? Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4008703#...
