POJO API JMX registration

[marc.fleury]

In the grand AOP scheme of things we need something where we can throw a POJO and a interface and we get back a proxy with client interceptors and server side interceptors. I may not need the JMX infrastructure to do it but I would rather use it.

I would however need to register objects dynamically to the JMX node through a static call. I need to get back the object. The reason is that I have the object and I just want to get the proxy, I don't want to deal with xml and xmbeans and anything totally at runtime but with indirection on the call.

I think we need a
public Object register(Object object, Configuration)....

where the implementation takes all the "implements" and if configuration is null then we give a default proxy implementation with dynamic proxies and voila AOP by default. You give us a stack of interceptors you get the proxy back.


Do we have something like that? what is the input in creating mbeans

Excuse my ignorance on AOP :-(

You would need some XML/xmbean config somewhere.
Something must define your Aspects.
If I have a POJO and add Security, there must be an
implementor of "implements Security".

JMX gives you decoupling of implementation.
In principle you can change the Security Aspect without
having to generate a new proxy.

Questions:
Would you register each POJO in JMX or just the
aspects? I'm thinking they would be handled more
like entity beans? The identity is passed to the
aspect's MBean.
