Looks OK to me.  I'll check with Andy about the FarmService.  Do you need
notifications of each step (there are actually 5 or 6) or are the deploy
and undeploy notifications enough?

I'm not sure exactly what you are using the notifications for, but I assume
you know about the *-service.xml files and sar files, which let you deploy
sets of mbeans at any time?  There is also a dependency mechanism that lets
mbean deployment wait for other mbeans (including ejbs, but right now you
can't make an ejb wait for anything;-).
