Do you have an example for that ? I know BEA WL 5 and
IBM WebSphere 3.5 and both did not provide configuration
on their UI.

When I was working on BEA WebLogic (yes, I was) they had a
usable UI but I still configured the server through the file. Mostly
because the heavy configuration stuff is not added to the UI.

A UI makes sense to discover all the services and deployments
and get statistics out of it which JSR-77 should do so. But I am
convinced that configuring a server is advanced stuff and should
not be made too easy otherwise it will break all the time. An
application server is not a volatile system with respect to configuration.

Have fun - Andy
