Peter, Thanks - I've managed to limp on to the next stage! Not happy with what I've done so far but I figure I need to find out all the issues and then revisit the solution. I've had an older version of Phoenix running inside an older version of Jboss so I'm reasonably confident it will work out.
My goal is to create an Mbean launcher for Phoenix and a HostedSystemManager to enable Phoenix to use the Jboss JMX. If you guys are interested then I'll keep you informed and contribute these to the project.
