Is it possible to send a JMX notification from a POJO annotated with Service/Management only?

I've tried various different ways, but nothing seems to work. I can get to a stage where via jvisualvm I can subscribe to the MBean, but the notifications are not being 'caught'.

It seems the client is not being added to the Broadcaster??

I'm not recieving any errors..

@Service(objectName = "com.example:type=test,name=jbossjmxtester")
public class Tester extends ServiceMBeanSupport implements TesterI {

    public void somethingHappened() {
        System.out.println("send notification");
        Notification notification = 
      new Notification("com.example", this, nextNotificationSequenceNumber());//, "test notification");
        sendNotification(notification);
    }
}

@Management
interface TesterI {
    public void somethingHappened();
}

I've been trawling through the forums, but can't find anything on this. Has anybody else had this problem before?

Should I remove the annotations and use the xml configuration rather? (would not be nice)

I am testing this on jboss-4.2.3.GA
