Our configuration will be changing in the next release (or two), but JavaBeans support wasn't part of that equation. If you want to add it and contribute it back, it would be great.
I have implemented a first pass at a beans based configuration. With this new code you can configure actions and NotificationTargets as POJOs. The new code maintains compatibility with the ConfigTree approach so the current codebase will work unchanged.
changed: NotificationTarget and ActionProcessingPipeline
added: BeanConfigurator, ActionBeanConfigurator
needs work: AbstractFileGateway, JmsGatewayListener, SqlTableGatewayListener, and LifecycleUtil (I wasn't sure what to do with these guys)
I will open up a JIRA issue and attach the files there.
