I think we should add the attribute type to GAttributeInfo
Currently the type is figured out when GBeanMBean goes online and the target's class can be loaded. This means things dealing with persistent attributes (like the deployer) need to have the type information specified by the user. This is a PITA.
I think it is better to put the burden on the developer rather than the end user e.g.
GBeanInfoFactory.addAttribute("Foo", String.class, true);
<attribute name="Foo">Stuff</attribute>is better than
GBeanInfoFactory.addAttribute("Foo", true);
<attribute name="Foo" type="java.lang.String">Stuff</attribute>-- Jeremy
