I'm against making coarser grained gbeans for this. In fact, I would prefer to see gbeans for servlets, servlet mappings, and filters as well.
I like the idea of a coarser grained GBean for simpler configurations. Are the reasons for your preference for these "detail" GBeans purely for management?
If this is really a problem (i.e. it is something users will actually want to configure rather than always using our setup) IMO the way to fix it is with a specialized builder. An example is the login config builder.
I don't like the idea of GBeans being factories for other GBeans. I think that the GBean configuration should be frozen at deployment time. With that said, I like your preference for a specialized builder.
