      Work Description: Created a patch that implements "toXmlString()" methods on InfinispanConfigruation, GlobalConfiguration and Configuration, including unit tests.

In addition added a @ManagedAttribute to CacheDelegate to make the XML configuration string available within the JMX environment.

> Infinispan supports a very flexible way of configuring caches using multiple levels of inheritance. 
> While this is really nice, it is sometimes not easy to understand how exactly a particular cache was configured. 
> (E.g. JPA is just one example where a cache configuration can be adjusted in several ways).
> JMX or debuggers help but may not always be available.
> What about allowing to convert a configuration instance back to XML to give a quick overview of the really applied settings. _(Optionally it might also be a nice little feature to implement a "toXmlString();" method or override the default and also make this available through JMX)_
> JAXB annotations are already present on all configurable options but a couple getters and a @XmlRootElement annotation is missing that would allow to convert an existing instance back to XML. The effort in doing this should be rather low.
> ---
> This feature request may also fit with #ISPN-791 as it would allow to transfer cache configs using XML.
