The RA bootstrapping is done in the AS environment , so during the RA bootstraping you can get a reference of MBeanServer and then dynamically add the MBean which will control the stuff you want . Yes getting the MBeanServer in the RA's bootstrap(...) would make the RA tied to the Jboss but getting it generic should not be that difficult . Did you get it ?
