Hi,
The stuff in jboss.jcml is read at server startup and written at server shutdown. So, during startup, jboss.conf is read to find out which mbeans to load, then jboss.jcml is read to find out how to configure those mbeans, then the mbeans are started. So if a section in jboss.jcml has a name which doesn't correspond to the name of an mbean, it is not applied to any mbean. Then when the server shuts down, it just goes through all of the mbeans which are loaded, and writes their current configuration to jboss.jcml. Now, if there are no mbeans which have your two lines as part of their configuration, those two lines will obviously not be written.
It's done this way so that you can configure mbeans using some management tool while they are running (like the web interface which starts on port 8082 when you start jboss) and have these configuration changes persist beyond the next server restart.
So you need an entry in jboss.conf for ZOAP, then you need to find out what name this is ending up with (the web interface could come in useful here) then you need to put a corresponding entry in jboss.jcml, setting any attributes that need to be set.
For instance, the container factory has this entry in jboss.conf:
<MLET CODE = "org.jboss.ejb.ContainerFactory" ARCHIVE="jboss.jar,ejb.jar,jnp-client.jar,ejxeditor.jar,ejxjboss.jar" CODEBASE="../../lib/ext/">
</MLET>
This causes the JMX agent to load the container factory, but does not set any parameters on it.
Now if I take a look at the web interface, I see that the container factory has the JMX name of
EJB:service=ContainerFactory
So now in jboss.jcml I need to add an mbean section with this name. And it looks like this:
<mbean name="EJB:service=ContainerFactory">
<attribute name="VerifyDeployments">true</attribute>
<attribute name="MetricsEnabled">false</attribute>
<attribute name="VerifierVerbose">true</attribute>
</mbean>
Now, I don't have ZOAP running, so I can't give you any specific tips, but I hope this general explanation of how jboss.conf and jboss.jcml interact will ease you frustration.

<sigh> I'm very frustrated. I don't quite understand why the lines are
"automatically" removed for me. I add those two lines right before the
container factory and then they are deleted when the server starts up.
It seems that jboss.jcml is written by the server. I'm using the
embedded Tomcat / Jboss distribution 2.0 FINAL.
Nothing appears in the log file about zoap at all, except that it was
adding zoap.jar to the classpath.
I'm about to give up ...
