Hi Dan, In order to use the ApplicationContextAware mechanism, the object I am instrumenting would have to created by Spring itself which is not necessarily the case. Here is what I would like to do: 1)Expose the Bus as an MBean. In the CXFBusImpl constructor, construct an MBeanWrapper around the Bus and register it with the InstrumentationManager. This BusMBeanWrapper would have a addInterceptor(String id) method on it. It would be nice if this wrapper had a handle to the ApplicationContext which was used to create the Bus. However, since the Bus itself is not ApplicationContextAware, I am not sure how to do this. 2)Users call addInterceptor(String id) on Bus MBean. This id is used to lookup interceptor from ApplicationContext so that if this method is called several times, the same interceptor is always used for the given ID.
For starters, users would have to define any interceptors that they expected to use in the bean.xml file used to configure the Bus. Later on we could make such that Interceptors beans could be specified at runtime.

What if the interceptor isn't previously defined in an XML file? For example, lets say I want to add a logging interceptor. I would have to have it predefined in my beans.xml then, right? - Dan On 2/26/07, Soltysik, Seumas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would like to expose the various InterceptorProviders (Bus, Service, > Endpoint) as MBeans and provide methods on these MBeans to dynamically > deploy interceptors into these providers.
