or the solution was really simple :-)

I think the main issue was that the console expected to be able to
cast GBean references to some helper interface in order to start and
stop individual GBeans and get a GBean's name and things like that.
And the proxies provided implementations of that interface that the
"plain" GBean references did not.  I think we made wide use of that
before realizing that it might be desirable to eliminate it.

That's the only need for proxies I'm aware of.

Was the workaround just to call kernel methods to get the GBean name
and start and stop instead?

What I did was in the KernelManagementHelper class get a proxy for  
anything we return, so the console could continue to use that proxy  
to use the geronimo management interface.

If there are other ways of getting gbeans that need the management  
interface in the console I haven't fixed them and someone will find  
that something is broken.

A really long time ago Dain made the server work without gbean
proxies in gbean references, but we didn't enable this by default
because it broke the admin console.  While waiting for a build I had
a look and think I've fixed the admin console.... it still seems to
work.

I expect to commit this in the next day or two.
