    Description

      See ISPN-379.
      Currently, most pluggable components can only be specified by a lookup class name. While some accept a configurable Properties object (e.g. JGroupsChannelLookup), not all do (e.g. MBeanServerLookup). Consequently, it is very awkward to implement a parameterized MBeanServerLookup implementation (e.g. to find the server using a jmx agent id, use an injected mbean server instance, etc.).
      I can think of 2 ways to improve this:
      1. Add the ability to specify properties objects for each pluggable component. e.g. GlobalConfiguration.setMBeanServerProperties(...), MBeanServerLookup.getMBeanServer(Properties properties)
      2. Allow the user to define the instance directly. e.g. GlobalConfiguration.setMBeanServerLookup(MBeanServerLookup lookup)

      Ideally, Infinispan could support both mechanisms. The 1st allows flexible declarative configuration. The 2nd allows even more flexible programmatic configuration.

      Thinking this through a bit more - we can support both approaches using the following (using MBeanServerLookup as an example):

      • Leave MBeanServerLookup interface as is
      • Replace GlobalConfiguration.setMBeanServerLookup(String) with GlobalConfiguration.setMBeanServerLookup(MBeanServerLookup lookup)
      • Create generic implementation of MBeanServerLookup that delegates to an instance constructed via class name and java bean properties
      • If lookup class is specified in the xml, construct generic MBeanServerLookup object accordingly (using class name + properties)

      Just a thought. Approach #1 is good enough.
