HI,
I am joining this effort with the hope of being a code contributor.
I think this (MBean component model) is a good idea. It would be helpful if
a sketch or example MBean can be created, so those of us who are new to open
source development and MBean development can understand exactly what this
component model entails. (This example does not have to be throw-away as it
could be a live component.)
There are already quite a few MBeans in the source code. Just search for files matching *MBean.java and see how they're used.
There are two other suggestions I would like to make. One is that a decision
on the base (kernel/framework) code be made and moved to CVS assuming it
hasn't already.
Its already there in CVS
Also, whatever this MBean component model involves, it
essential that we move ahead to porting the existing containers/services to
this model to identify any risks in the approach we are taking.
The JMX spec (albeit very large and most of this you can ignore) describes how to write MBeans. Maybe the quickest way to see the way this works is to look at the examples in mx4j (http://mx4j.sf.net) or look at the existing MBeans inside Geronimo.
