Are you guys thinking of providing an mbean interface to the java config api? I used to work a fair bit on weblogic and they had configuration mbeans that you could use to change the configuration. I think this is how they manage clustered environments where the admin server talks to the managed servers via the mbean interface. The configuration mbeans would update the xml configuration file as well to persist the configuration changes. There was a clear delineation between configuration and runtime mbeans. Sounds like the java config api could form the basis of configuration mbeans if you wanted to go down that path.
