StandardMBeanCA does return an incompatible object

The StandardMBeanCA returns a component that is a StandardMBean, but does not implement the management interface. This prevents exposed components to be used as normal components in the application.

See:

public void testDefaultComponentAdapterFunctionality() throws Exception

{ WilmaImpl wilma = new WilmaImpl(); ComponentAdapter componentAdapter = new StandardMBeanComponentAdapter(wilma, Wilma.class); picoContainer.registerComponent(componentAdapter); Wilma w = (Wilma)picoContainer.getComponentAdapterOfType(Wilma.class); assertFalse(wilma.helloCalled()); w.hello(); assertTrue(wilma.helloCalled()); }

The StandardMBeanCA should operate as a delegator for other CAs.
