    31 /**
       
    32  * <p>Defines how types are mapped for a given MXBean or set of MXBeans.
       
    33  * An {@code MXBeanMappingFactory} can be specified either through the
       
    34  * {@link MXBeanMappingFactoryClass} annotation, or through the
       
    35  * {@link javax.management.JMX.MBeanOptions JMX.MBeanOptions} argument to a
       
    36  * {@link javax.management.StandardMBean StandardMBean} constructor or MXBean
       
    37  * proxy.</p>
       
    38  *
       
    39  * <p>An {@code MXBeanMappingFactory} must return an {@code MXBeanMapping}
       
    40  * for any Java type that appears in the MXBeans that the factory is being
       
    41  * used for.  Usually it does that by handling any custom types, and
       
    42  * forwarding everything else to the {@linkplain #DEFAULT default mapping
       
    43  * factory}.</p>
       
    44  *
       
    45  * <p>Consider the {@code MyLinkedList} example from the {@link MXBeanMapping}
       
    46  * documentation.  If we are unable to change the {@code MyLinkedList} class
       
    47  * to add an {@link MXBeanMappingClass} annotation, we could achieve the same
       
    48  * effect by defining {@code MyLinkedListMappingFactory} as follows:</p>
       
    49  *
       
    50  * <pre>
       
    51  * public class MyLinkedListMappingFactory extends MXBeanMappingFactory {
       
    52  *     public MyLinkedListMappingFactory() {}
       
    53  *
       
    54  *     public MXBeanMapping mappingForType(Type t, MXBeanMappingFactory f)
       
    55  *     throws OpenDataException {
       
    56  *         if (t == MyLinkedList.class)
       
    57  *             return new MyLinkedListMapping(t);
       
    58  *         else
       
    59  *             return MXBeanMappingFactory.DEFAULT.mappingForType(t, f);
       
    60  *     }
       
    61  * }
       
    62  * </pre>
       
    63  *
       
    64  * <p>The mapping factory handles only the {@code MyLinkedList} class.
       
    65  * Every other type is forwarded to the default mapping factory.
       
    66  * This includes types such as {@code MyLinkedList[]} and
       
    67  * {@code List<MyLinkedList>}; the default mapping factory will recursively
       
    68  * invoke {@code MyLinkedListMappingFactory} to map the contained
       
    69  * {@code MyLinkedList} type.</p>
       
    70  *
       
    71  * <p>Once we have defined {@code MyLinkedListMappingFactory}, we can use
       
    72  * it in an MXBean interface like this:</p>
       
    73  *
       
    74  * <pre>
       
    75  * {@literal @MXBeanMappingFactoryClass}(MyLinkedListMappingFactory.class)
       
    76  * public interface SomethingMXBean {
       
    77  *     public MyLinkedList getSomething();
       
    78  * }
       
    79  * </pre>
       
    80  *
       
    81  * <p>Alternatively we can annotate the package that {@code SomethingMXBean}
       
    82  * appears in, or we can supply the factory to a {@link
       
    83  * javax.management.StandardMBean StandardMBean} constructor or MXBean
       
    84  * proxy.</p>
       
    85  *
       
    86  * @see <a href="../MXBean.html#custom">MXBean specification, section
       
    87  * "Custom MXBean type mappings"</a>
