/**
 * <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)
 * MBeanPermission(className, operationName, name, "invoke")}.</p>
 *
 * <li><p>For the {@link #getAttribute getAttribute} method, the
 * caller's permissions must imply {@link
 * MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
 * MBeanPermission(className, attribute, name, "getAttribute")}.</p>
 *
 * <li><p>For the {@link #getAttributes getAttributes} 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>
 *
 * <li><p>For the {@link #setAttributes setAttributes} method, the
 * caller's permissions must imply {@link
 * MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
 * MBeanPermission(className, null, name, "setAttribute")}.
 * 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
 * supplied list.</p>
 *
 * <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,
 * "addNotificationListener")}.</p>
 *
 * <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#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
 * MBeanPermission(className, null, name, "getMBeanInfo")}.</p>
 *
 * <li><p>For the {@link #getObjectInstance getObjectInstance} method,
 * the caller's permissions must imply {@link
 * MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
 * 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,
 * the caller's permissions must imply {@link
 * MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
 * 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>
 *
 * <li><p>For the {@link #registerMBean registerMBean} method, the
 * 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
 * java.security.ProtectionDomain ProtectionDomain} implies {@link
 * MBeanTrustPermission#MBeanTrustPermission(String)
 * 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
 * <code>registerMBean</code>.</p>
 *
 * <li><p>For the {@link #unregisterMBean unregisterMBean} method,
 * the caller's permissions must imply {@link
 * MBeanPermission#MBeanPermission(String,String,ObjectName,String)
