This is the correct way to do it. "implicit=true" means any element you
nest into <execMyProgram> later will get collected as child of your
<programArgs> element and you don't need to use that element name
explicitly.
So instead of

you only have to use
<execMyProgram>
<arg value="arg1"/>
<arg value="arg2"/>
</executeProcessMonitor>
