the param values are passed as bean properties, i.e. using setter method,
e.g. setConfig(String).
an example:
<AccessManager class="MyAccessManager">
<param name="foo" value="blah"/>
<param name="bar" value="blah"/>
</AccessManager>
your MyAccessManager class needs to provide the following setter methods:
void setFoo(String)
void setBar(String)
internally an org.apache.commons.collections.BeanMap is used to
instantiate an Accessmanager implementation and pass the param values.
see o.a.jackrabbit.core.config.BeanConfig for details.

AccessManager instances are created per session and are disposed (closed)
on session logout.
