No problems.

Why not? I mean, exposing to JMX just involves an interface that exposes
control points - imagine an interface that had something like
"setFactoryClassName(String)" and "addNamedDecorator()", etc., things that
the internal XML configuration mechanism called to populate the initial
configuration anyway - those, plus a mechanism to SHOW the current
configuration, would allow runtime examination and modification of the
sitemesh config. Add in the ability to serialize the configuration and you
have a runtime configuration that *cranks.* (That's meant to be a good
thing.)
