Managed objects like caches, cache managers and stores are registered into an org.ehcache.management.ManagementRegistryService instance.

A ManagementRegistry implementation has to understand the registered object and provide management and monitoring capabilities for them, including the capabilities' context.

Given a capability and a context, statistics can be collected or calls can be made.

The current ManagementRegistry implementation provides minimal support for Ehcache instances, providing a minimal set of statistics and actions via a couple of capabilities.
