I would like to propose 3 enhancements to modeler. The DynamicMbean ( from tomcat-util ) can support beans that have no xml description, using introspection. I'm in process of converting it to a model mbean and integrate it with Registry.
The second is a new class "Modeler" that will act as a front end - with no dependency on JMX. The goal is to be able to use modeler in applications directly, even if the app doesn't have a dependency on JMX. ( i.e. if JMX is not available, the code will fall back to noop). I think this will simplify a lot of code ( i.e. it would be possible to make calls to modeler directly without listeners/etc ). I would also like to add a bit of discovery ( for start just getResources(), but later we could use commons-discovery ). It should read "META-INF/modeler.xml" ( not sure about the name) from all jars. This will allow other applications to be jmx-enabled. Opinions? Craig ? Remy ?
