JMX Console Webapp PropertyEditor for Element?

[nphelps]

You can easily use an org.w3c.dom.Element as the value for an MBean attribute during startup. However, when trying to set that attribute from the JBoss JMX management console webapp, an exception is thrown saying that there is not PropertyEditor for org.w3c.dom.Element. How might I remedy this situation?

the code for the jmx-console servlet is in varia/, you could try to patch that

I don't think it makes sense to have a PropertyEditor for Element, since Element is not a concrete class; its an interface.

I'm not concerned with the specifics. I just want to be able to set Elements via the JMX Console just like the SARDeployer does.

It turns out that the ServiceConfigurator doesn't use PropertyEditor to set the XML Elements. Instead, it checks to see if it is dealing with XML, and if, sets the attribute or calls the method. Only after that does it use PropertyEditors.
