[Modeler] Can I represent inheritance in the mbeans-descriptors.xml file?

[JD Evora]

Hi everybody,

I am using commons-modeler for instrument an application that has a lot 
of sub classes with a few different details.

Can I define a reference to the common base attributes and operation in 
the mbeans-descriptors.xml file or do I have to repeat the whole 
description of attributes and operation for each descendant class?
e.g. with:       beans.Child extends beans.Base
<mbean         name="base"
           className="mbeans.BaseMBean"
                type="beans.Base">
   <attribute   name="name"
                type="java.lang.String"/>
   <attribute   name="attribute1"
                type="int"
           writeable="false"/>
   <attribute   name="attribute2"
                type="int"
           writeable="false"/>
 </mbean>

Is there some way to avoid tho describe the attributes name, attribute1 
and attribute2 in the bmean child?
<mbean         name="child"
           className="mbeans.ChildMBean"
                type="beans.Child">
   <attribute   name="name"                     \
                type="java.lang.String"/>          |
   <attribute   name="attribute1"                |    is there any way
                type="int"                                 >    for avoid
           writeable="false"/>                        |   repeating  that?
   <attribute   name="attribute2"                |
                type="int"                                 |
           writeable="false"/>                        /
  <attribute   name="attribute3"                    
                type="java.lang.String"/> 
  <attribute   name="attribute4"                    
                type="java.lang.String"/> 
 </mbean>

Cheers
