[jboss-as7-dev] how to access the management model?

Hi Jason

thanks for the further insights!

hmm, to be honest I dont really understand why a RESTy semantic (ex. 
post to or delete to the uri of the cache resource) would not allow this 
operation. But I might miss something here since I do not have the same 
background.

oh, looks like I missed this one. Guess using the java API would be the 
better choice for me then. Is there any documentation about it?
