Currently attributes of management beans are shown in RO mode. It should be possible to edit some of them (also only String values are supported - this might be unneceseary restriction).
This will change as planned so that management bean attribute is shown as writable property if AttributeInfo.isWritable() return true. About String type restriction, actually this is only because the attribute was originally designed as RO. I think, for writalbe attributes any types that could be parsed from string would be a reasonable restriction.
huh? do we even use mbeans anymore in j2eeserver?
