[jbosscache-dev] JMX and MBeans in JBoss Cache 2.0.0

[Manik Surtani]

Can't you register model MBeans programatically rather than via XML?

Basically what I am thinking is an MBeanRegistrar class that inspects  
your interceptor stack, and has a hardcoded list of reflect.Methods  
to expose for each known interceptor type.  Sure, it means one clunky  
class that does all of this but is this better than a dozen *MBean  
interfaces?

Cheers,
