I'm experimenting with applying edits via the ManagementView to ServiceBindingManager (see http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=154673 for changes I've made locally to set this up.) I'm finding that my edits are persisted, but when I restart the AS they are not being applied.

Problem seems to be the type of attachment is not being looked for. Here's how ProfileServicePersistenceDeployer looks for relevant attachments:

 protected void internalDeploy(DeploymentUnit unit) throws DeploymentException
 {
 // Check all attachments, if they have a managed attachment
 // TODO there might be a better way to do that ? :)
 Set<String> attachments = unit.getTransientManagedObjects().getAttachments().keySet();
 for(String attachment : attachments)
 {
 PersistedManagedObject persistedManagedObject = (PersistedManagedObject) unit.getAttachment(PERSISTED_ATTACHMENT_PREFIX + attachment);

 if(persistedManagedObject != null)
 ... do stuff to apply persisted edits

The "attachments" set includes:

org.jboss.kernel.spi.deployment.KernelDeployment, org.jboss.deployers.spi.structure.StructureMetaData

Problem is the LazyPredeterminedManagedObjects.attachments set only includes

org.jboss.beans.metadata.plugins.AbstractBeanMetaData

So, no match and thus no edits applied.

Any ideas on what could be going wrong? The persisted attachment metadata is as follows:

bindings-jboss-beans-XXX/metadata-attachment.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<attachments-metadata xmlns="urn:org:jboss:profileservice:attachments:1.0">
 <attachment>
 <attachment-class-name>org.jboss.beans.metadata.plugins.AbstractBeanMetaData</attachment-class-name>
 <attachment-name>org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingManager</attachment-name>
 </attachment>
 <deployment-name>bindings-jboss-beans.xml</deployment-name>
 <deployment-structure>
 <relative-order>0</relative-order>
 </deployment-structure>
 <last-modified>1241122388193</last-modified>
</attachments-metadata>

bindings-jboss-beans-XXX/org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingManager.attachment.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<managed-object xmlns="urn:org:jboss:profileservice:persistence:managed-object:1.0" template-name="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingManager" name="ServiceBindingManager" class-name="org.jboss.beans.metadata.plugins.AbstractBeanMetaData">
 <orignal-name>ServiceBindingManager</orignal-name>
 <properties>
 <property name="serverName">
 <simple>ports-01</simple>
 </property>
 </properties>
</managed-object>

(BTW, there's a typo in that last snippet: "orignal-name")
