both the MBean generator and soapification service provide this:

soapification:
        // relevant part of interface:
    void publish(Object obj, String publicationName, Class[]
interfacesToExpose)
        throws SOAPificationException;
    void publish(Object obj, String publicationName, Class
interfaceToExpose)
        throws SOAPificationException;
    void publish(Object obj, String publicationName)
        throws SOAPificationException;

        // somewhere:
        SOAPification soapifier =
getService("org.apache.avalon.cornerstone.services.soapification.SOAPificati
on");
        soapifier.publish(obj1, "key1");
        soapifier.publish(obj2, "key2");

mbean:
        // relevant part of interface:
    public static DynamicMBean create( Object obj )
        throws NotCompliantMBeanException;
    public static DynamicMBean create( Object obj, MBeanInfo mBeanInfo )
        throws IllegalArgumentException, NotCompliantMBeanException;
    public static DynamicMBean create( Object obj, Class[] interfaces )
        throws IllegalArgumentException, NotCompliantMBeanException;

        // somewhere:
        MBeanServer mbeanserver = getMBeanServer();
        MBean bean1 = DynamicMBeanFactory.create( obj1 );
        MBean bean2 = DynamicMBeanFactory.create( obj2 );
        mbeanserver.registerMBean( "key1", bean1 );
        mbeanserver.registerMBean( "key2", bean2 );

as you can see, the process is remarkably similar.
We have 3 options as I see it:

a) make the options mostly identical and provide 'universal management'
   at the 'avalon level';
b) make an MBeanServerImpl wrapping SOAPification and adapt SOAPification
   to provide all the functionality required by the JMX spec and provide
   'universal management' at the 'JMX level';
c) not care about the difference.

option a would make the functionality avalon-specific. Option b warrants
a separate project ("Apache JMX") providing a JMX implementation that
also supports SOAP. Option c is not cool.
I think option b is best; unfortunately, it is also the most work. So I
suggest we try (a) first.
