AFAIK the JSR-77 managed objects are available through the MBeanServer 
because, OUR implementation defines them as MBean. Based on the JSR-77 
specifications, I've got the feeling that these objects are not required to 
be MBeans: it is not written explicitely that the managed objects MUST be 
exposed as JMX manageable resources. However, it is written explicitely that 
the MEJB exposes them as JMX manageable resources.

In other words, if one simply writes a JMX agent to interact with the JSR-77 
managed objects, then one makes an assumption on the implementation. 
However, to migrate from a MBeanServer implementation to a MEJB one is 
simple (if you have a business interface on top of the 
javax.management.j2ee.Management at least), hence, I assume that by now it 
is fine.
