We've got support for monitoring and configuring datasource and jms destinations, we should extend this support so that we can discover and monitor (initially) other resource types e.g. JBoss AS server instance itself, JBossWeb container (monitoring things like Total Number of Requests Served) and JBossWeb connectors (collecting stats like Bytes Received/Bytes Sent).

In the future this could be extended to other services within the appserver (e.g. EJB container) and also add support for configuring these, however at the moment the above would be a good start.

Here is an initial list:
