Yes. Another excerpt of this previous memo ("JSR77 -> JSR88"):

[...]
Whatever the type of deployment, a MBean matching the pattern
"*:role=DeploymentUnit,url=" + ObjectName.quote(url.toString()) + ",*" MUST
be created. This is a requirement of the DeploymentController.

OK and thanks for that. I will implement the task as suggested. Actually, I 
thought that inbound communications (from the wild and outside world to the 
data center) were more filtered than the outbound ones.

As you may have noticed, I have introduced two methods, namely 
startDeployment and stopDeployment, triggering the starting of a deployment. 
I tried to re-use the JSR77 start and stop methods, however I did face a 
problem. Basically, start and stop are not re-entrant, which causes a 
problem during the execution of a plan in the context of the doStart or 
doStop method. I think that I can avoid this issue and will re-consider my 
current approach.

Thanks,
Gianny
