I added a tests called JacORBSubsystemTestCase, which uses our subsystem testing framework which attempts to validate the description providers, this will be committed to upstream in the next few days.
To make the tests pass I had to override AdditionalInitialization.getModelValidationConfiguration() and isValidateOperations() as follows:

          @Override
          protected ValidationConfiguration getModelValidationConfiguration() {
              return null;
          }


           @Override
           protected boolean isValidateOperations() {
               //TODO fix providers https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1789
               return false;
           }

Returning null basically turns off validation of the providers, and the isValidateOperations() override turns off validation of the contents of the actual operations. What I have added is a minimum of what is required for subsystem testing, the test framework allows you to do a lot of other stuff, see the jmx subsystem test for some examples.
