I'm going to give a specific example below, but I'm less interested in the specifics than the general issue of how much is meant to be coming from domain.xml.

What you mentioned about "the IOC wiring stuff is really configuration" - seem to be the one of the problems with configuration in general. Our current management view is actually a override of the original deployment metadata representing the actual beans. This requires classloading and the bean deployed, where actual management overrides update the IOC wiring (BeanMetaData).

So we were talking about using a offline MO (xml) model, defining this override and how a component is exposed though the management view. In case this would still applies the question is if this concept of configuration should be externalized in general - using the same way to register against the namespace/xpath of the domain.xml Scott mentioned.

Basically this seems to be more critical in terms of persistable configuration with default values, than runtime MOs just dispatching requests or exposing metrics - which should most probably just be merged into a configuration MO.
