You can take a look at RHQ's DMR client library. It was written to be a generic DMR client to access the mgmt API.

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/rhq/rhq.git/tree/modules/common/jboss-as-dmr-client/src/main/java/org/rhq/common/jbossas/client/controller

Obtain a ModelControllerClient "somehow" (see MCCHelper, for example) and pass it to the constructor for the different types of clients (DatasourceJBossASClient, CoreJBossASClient, SecurityDomainJBossASClient, etc, etc)

Then there is my blog from 2012 that talks about getting a co-located ModelControllerClient that may be of help:

Anyway, the code in those places can serve as examples that you are asking for. We do use these from within servlets and EJBs running in EAP 6.
