Management Services define the Openwings framework for management of components and
services. The framework makes it possible to automatically manage system operations
including security, system formation, and services. The framework provides a standard way
to add management plug-ins, called Management Beans (MBeans), to manage different aspects
of component behavior. For a maintainer this can be used to turn on and off debug logging.
For a security manager this would allow various policies to be modified.
