Well, basic JMX support for tomcat3.3 took about 15 minutes to implement.
Nothing fancy - just have the Interceptors, Contexts and the CM exposed
and all attributes with a decent type.

All you need to expose a bean-like component is tomcat-utils.jar and 2-3 
lines of code. If you have a hook that is called on each component 
creation - you don't even need to touch the code.
