The supported way to get (and set) information is via the common client,
e.g. using getComponentConfiguration / setComponentConfiguration
http://wiki.open-esb.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=Glassfish9.1CommonClient
Behind the scenes this works through JMX, so technically it is also
possible to retrieve and operate on the MBeans directly; but the MBean
names and MBeans temselves are not guaranteed to stay compatible, hence
this direct use is not covered by product support.
