/**
* <p>This is the interface for MBean manipulation on the agent
* side. It contains the methods necessary for the creation,
* registration, and deletion of MBeans as well as the access methods
* for registered MBeans. This is the core component of the JMX
* infrastructure.</p>
*
* <p>User code does not usually implement this interface. Instead,
* an object that implements this interface is obtained with one of
* the methods in the {@link javax.management.MBeanServerFactory} class.</p>
*
* <p>Every MBean which is added to the MBean server becomes
* manageable: its attributes and operations become remotely
* accessible through the connectors/adaptors connected to that MBean
* server. A Java object cannot be registered in the MBean server
* unless it is a JMX compliant MBean.</p>
*
* <p id="notif">When an MBean is registered or unregistered in the
* MBean server a {@link javax.management.MBeanServerNotification
* MBeanServerNotification} Notification is emitted. To register an
* object as listener to MBeanServerNotifications you should call the
* MBean server method {@link #addNotificationListener
* addNotificationListener} with <CODE>ObjectName</CODE> the
* <CODE>ObjectName</CODE> of the {@link
* javax.management.MBeanServerDelegate MBeanServerDelegate}. This
* <CODE>ObjectName</CODE> is: <BR>
* <CODE>JMImplementation:type=MBeanServerDelegate</CODE>.</p>
*
* <p>An object obtained from the {@link
* MBeanServerFactory#createMBeanServer(String) createMBeanServer} or
* {@link MBeanServerFactory#newMBeanServer(String) newMBeanServer}
* methods of the {@link MBeanServerFactory} class applies security
* checks to its methods, as follows.</p>
*
* <p>First, if there is no security manager ({@link
* System#getSecurityManager()} is null), then an implementation of
* this interface is free not to make any checks.</p>
*
* <p>Assuming that there is a security manager, or that the
* implementation chooses to make checks anyway, the checks are made
* as detailed below. In what follows, and unless otherwise specified,
* {@code className} is the
* string returned by {@link MBeanInfo#getClassName()} for the target
* MBean.</p>
*
* <p>If a security check fails, the method throws {@link
* SecurityException}.</p>
*
* <p>For methods that can throw {@link InstanceNotFoundException},
* this exception is thrown for a non-existent MBean, regardless of
* permissions. This is because a non-existent MBean has no
* <code>className</code>.</p>
*
* <ul>
*
* <li><p>For the {@link #invoke invoke} method, the caller's
* permissions must imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)

*
* <li><p>For the {@link #getAttribute getAttribute} method, the

* caller's permissions must imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(className, null, name, "getAttribute")}.
* Additionally, for each attribute <em>a</em> in the {@link
* AttributeList}, if the caller's permissions do not imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(className, <em>a</em>, name, "getAttribute")}, the
* MBean server will behave as if that attribute had not been in the
* supplied list.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the {@link #setAttribute setAttribute} method, the
* caller's permissions must imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(className, attrName, name, "setAttribute")}, where
* <code>attrName</code> is {@link Attribute#getName()
* attribute.getName()}.</p>

* Additionally, for each attribute <em>a</em> in the {@link
* AttributeList}, if the caller's permissions do not imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(className, <em>a</em>, name, "setAttribute")}, the
* MBean server will behave as if that attribute had not been in the

*
* <li><p>For the <code>addNotificationListener</code> methods,
* the caller's permissions must imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(className, null, name,

*
* <li><p>For the <code>removeNotificationListener</code> methods,
* the caller's permissions must imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(className, null, name,
* "removeNotificationListener")}.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the {@link #getMBeanInfo getMBeanInfo} method, the
* caller's permissions must imply {@link

* MBeanPermission(className, null, name, "getMBeanInfo")}.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the {@link #getObjectInstance getObjectInstance} method,

* MBeanPermission(className, null, name, "getObjectInstance")}.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the {@link #isInstanceOf isInstanceOf} method, the
* caller's permissions must imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(className, null, name, "isInstanceOf")}.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the {@link #queryMBeans queryMBeans} method, the
* caller's permissions must imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(null, null, null, "queryMBeans")}.
* Additionally, for each MBean <em>n</em> that matches <code>name</code>,
* if the caller's permissions do not imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(className, null, <em>n</em>, "queryMBeans")}, the
* MBean server will behave as if that MBean did not exist.</p>
*
* <p>Certain query elements perform operations on the MBean server.
* If the caller does not have the required permissions for a given
* MBean, that MBean will not be included in the result of the query.
* The standard query elements that are affected are {@link
* Query#attr(String)}, {@link Query#attr(String,String)}, and {@link
* Query#classattr()}.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the {@link #queryNames queryNames} method, the checks
* are the same as for <code>queryMBeans</code> except that
* <code>"queryNames"</code> is used instead of
* <code>"queryMBeans"</code> in the <code>MBeanPermission</code>
* objects. Note that a <code>"queryMBeans"</code> permission implies
* the corresponding <code>"queryNames"</code> permission.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the {@link #getDomains getDomains} method, the caller's
* permissions must imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(null, null, null, "getDomains")}. Additionally,
* for each domain <var>d</var> in the returned array, if the caller's
* permissions do not imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(null, null, new ObjectName("<var>d</var>:x=x"),
* "getDomains")}, the domain is eliminated from the array. Here,
* <code>x=x</code> is any <var>key=value</var> pair, needed to
* satisfy ObjectName's constructor but not otherwise relevant.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the {@link #getClassLoader getClassLoader} method, the
* caller's permissions must imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(className, null, loaderName,
* "getClassLoader")}.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the {@link #getClassLoaderFor getClassLoaderFor} method,

* MBeanPermission(className, null, mbeanName,
* "getClassLoaderFor")}.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the {@link #getClassLoaderRepository
* getClassLoaderRepository} method, the caller's permissions must
* imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(null, null, null, "getClassLoaderRepository")}.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the deprecated <code>deserialize</code> methods, the
* required permissions are the same as for the methods that replace
* them.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the <code>instantiate</code> methods, the caller's
* permissions must imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(className, null, null, "instantiate")},
* where {@code className} is the name of the class which is to
* be instantiated.</p>

* caller's permissions must imply {@link
* MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
* MBeanPermission(className, null, name, "registerMBean")}.
*
* <p>If the <code>MBeanPermission</code> check succeeds, the MBean's
* class is validated by checking that its {@link

* MBeanTrustPermission("register")}.</p>
*
* <p>Finally, if the <code>name</code> argument is null, another
* <code>MBeanPermission</code> check is made using the
* <code>ObjectName</code> returned by {@link
* MBeanRegistration#preRegister MBeanRegistration.preRegister}.</p>
*
* <li><p>For the <code>createMBean</code> methods, the caller's
* permissions must imply the permissions needed by the equivalent
* <code>instantiate</code> followed by

*
* <li><p>For the {@link #unregisterMBean unregisterMBean} method,
