In regard to this JIRA issue: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMICROCONT-71 ... I have a suggestion: I think that exposing a microcontainer POJO as an MBean, and optionally also making it available in JNDI, would be a farily common thing to do. Thus, I think an ultra-easy way of configuring a POJO to expose itself as so should be available. May I suggest adding 2 new optional attributes to the <bean ...> element? jmx-name and jndi-name? Simply adding them to the bean tag will go ahead and dynamically expose it as an mbean or add it to JNDI, respectively? Example: <bean name="Bar" jmx-name="jboss.foo:service=Bar" jndi-name="java:/foo/Bar" class="com.foo.Bar"/> I think this would be easier for people than a sub <annotation ...> element (I remember seeing something like this somewhere for jndi binding in the microcontainer). For JMX, I like it better than a @JMX annotation on the bean also (I saw that someplace too). However, I understand that is more of a matter of opinion/taste... If this has already been suggested then shame on me. :) Thoughts? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3991442#...
