Hello Ike :)

What this was trying to say, but I admit not very well, was that all 
components must integrate with the AS domain management apis to meet the 
unified configuration and management requireemnts. Some projects have 
existing management layers that are implemented purely using JMX mbeans, 
but this is not usable for integration (mapping problems, chicken-egg 
problems..). At a minimum we require some kind of project specific API 
that we can then write a subsystem for that can map the domain to the API.
