+/**
+ * <p>Base class for custom implementations of the {@link MBeanServer}
+ * interface. The commonest use of this class is as the {@linkplain
+ * JMXNamespace#getSourceServer() source server} for a {@link
+ * JMXNamespace}, although this class can be used anywhere an {@code
+ * MBeanServer} instance is required. Note that the usual ways to
+ * obtain an {@code MBeanServer} instance are either to use {@link
+ * java.lang.management.ManagementFactory#getPlatformMBeanServer()
+ * ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer()} or to use the {@code
+ * newMBeanServer} or {@code createMBeanServer} methods from {@link
+ * javax.management.MBeanServerFactory MBeanServerFactory}. {@code
+ * MBeanServerSupport} is for certain cases where those are not
+ * appropriate.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>There are two main use cases for this class: <a
+ * href="#special-purpose">special-purpose MBeanServer implementations</a>,
+ * and <a href="#virtual">namespaces containing Virtual MBeans</a>. The next
+ * sections explain these use cases.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>In the simplest case, a subclass needs to implement only two methods:</p>
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *     <li>
+ *         {@link #getNames getNames} which returns the name of
+ *         all MBeans handled by this {@code MBeanServer}.
+ *     </li>
+ *     <li>
+ *         {@link #getDynamicMBeanFor getDynamicMBeanFor} which returns a
+ *         {@link DynamicMBean} that can be used to invoke operations and
+ *         obtain meta data (MBeanInfo) on a given MBean.
+ *     </li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Subclasses can create such {@link DynamicMBean} MBeans on the fly - for
+ * instance, using the class {@link javax.management.StandardMBean}, just for
+ * the duration of an MBeanServer method call.</p>
+ *
+ * <h4 id="special-purpose">Special-purpose MBeanServer implementations</h4>
+ *
+ * <p>In some cases
+ * the general-purpose {@code MBeanServer} that you get from
+ * {@link javax.management.MBeanServerFactory MBeanServerFactory} is not
+ * appropriate.  You might need different security checks, or you might
+ * want a mock {@code MBeanServer} suitable for use in tests, or you might
+ * want a simplified and optimized {@code MBeanServer} for a special purpose.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>As an example of a special-purpose {@code MBeanServer}, the class {@link
+ * javax.management.QueryNotificationFilter QueryNotificationFilter} constructs
+ * an {@code MBeanServer} instance every time it filters a notification,
+ * with just one MBean that represents the notification. Although it could
+ * use {@code MBeanServerFactory.newMBeanServer}, a special-purpose {@code
+ * MBeanServer} will be quicker to create, use less memory, and have simpler
+ * methods that execute faster.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Here is an example of a special-purpose {@code MBeanServer}
+ * implementation that contains exactly one MBean, which is specified at the
+ * time of creation.</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * public class SingletonMBeanServer extends MBeanServerSupport {
+ *     private final ObjectName objectName;
+ *     private final DynamicMBean mbean;
+ *
+ *     public SingletonMBeanServer(ObjectName objectName, DynamicMBean mbean) {
+ *         this.objectName = objectName;
+ *         this.mbean = mbean;
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     &#64;Override
+ *     protected {@code Set<ObjectName>} {@link #getNames getNames}() {
+ *         return Collections.singleton(objectName);
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     &#64;Override
+ *     public DynamicMBean {@link #getDynamicMBeanFor
+ *                                getDynamicMBeanFor}(ObjectName name)
+ *             throws InstanceNotFoundException {
+ *         if (objectName.equals(name))
+ *             return mbean;
+ *         else
+ *             throw new InstanceNotFoundException(name);
+ *     }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>Using this class, you could make an {@code MBeanServer} that contains
+ * a {@link javax.management.timer.Timer Timer} MBean like this:</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ *     Timer timer = new Timer();
+ *     DynamicMBean mbean = new {@link javax.management.StandardMBean
+ *                                     StandardMBean}(timer, TimerMBean.class);
+ *     ObjectName name = new ObjectName("com.example:type=Timer");
+ *     MBeanServer timerMBS = new SingletonMBeanServer(name, mbean);
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>When {@code getDynamicMBeanFor} always returns the same object for the
+ * same name, as here, notifications work in the expected way: if the object
+ * is a {@link NotificationEmitter} then listeners can be added using
+ * {@link MBeanServer#addNotificationListener(ObjectName, NotificationListener,
+ * NotificationFilter, Object) MBeanServer.addNotificationListener}.  If
+ * {@code getDynamicMBeanFor} does not always return the same object for the
+ * same name, more work is needed to make notifications work, as described
+ * <a href="#notifs">below</a>.</p>
+ *
+ * <h4 id="virtual">Namespaces containing Virtual MBeans</h4>
+ *
+ * <p>Virtual MBeans are MBeans that do not exist as Java objects,
+ * except transiently while they are being accessed.  This is useful when
+ * there might be very many of them, or when keeping track of their creation
+ * and deletion might be expensive or hard.  For example, you might have one
+ * MBean per system process.  With an ordinary {@code MBeanServer}, you would
+ * have to list the system processes in order to create an MBean object for
+ * each one, and you would have to track the arrival and departure of system
+ * processes in order to create or delete the corresponding MBeans.  With
+ * Virtual MBeans, you only need the MBean for a given process at the exact
+ * point where it is referenced with a call such as
+ * {@link MBeanServer#getAttribute MBeanServer.getAttribute}.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Here is an example of an {@code MBeanServer} implementation that has
+ * one MBean for every system property.  The system property {@code "java.home"}
+ * is represented by the MBean called {@code
+ * com.example:type=Property,name="java.home"}, with an attribute called
+ * {@code Value} that is the value of the property.</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * public interface PropertyMBean {
+ *     public String getValue();
+ * }
+ *
+ * <a name="PropsMBS"></a>public class PropsMBS extends MBeanServerSupport {
+ *     private static ObjectName newObjectName(String name) {
+ *         try {
+ *             return new ObjectName(name);
+ *         } catch (MalformedObjectNameException e) {
+ *             throw new AssertionError(e);
+ *         }
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     public static class PropertyImpl implements PropertyMBean {
+ *         private final String name;
+ *
+ *         public PropertyImpl(String name) {
+ *             this.name = name;
+ *         }
+ *
+ *         public String getValue() {
+ *             return System.getProperty(name);
+ *         }
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     &#64;Override
+ *     public DynamicMBean {@link #getDynamicMBeanFor
+ *                                getDynamicMBeanFor}(ObjectName name)
+ *             throws InstanceNotFoundException {
+ *
+ *         // Check that the name is a legal one for a Property MBean
+ *         ObjectName namePattern = newObjectName(
+ *                     "com.example:type=Property,name=\"*\"");
+ *         if (!namePattern.apply(name))
+ *             throw new InstanceNotFoundException(name);
+ *
+ *         // Extract the name of the property that the MBean corresponds to
+ *         String propName = ObjectName.unquote(name.getKeyProperty("name"));
+ *         if (System.getProperty(propName) == null)
+ *             throw new InstanceNotFoundException(name);
+ *
+ *         // Construct and return a transient MBean object
+ *         PropertyMBean propMBean = new PropertyImpl(propName);
+ *         return new StandardMBean(propMBean, PropertyMBean.class, false);
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     &#64;Override
+ *     protected {@code Set<ObjectName>} {@link #getNames getNames}() {
+ *         {@code Set<ObjectName> names = new TreeSet<ObjectName>();}
+ *         Properties props = System.getProperties();
+ *         for (String propName : props.stringPropertyNames()) {
+ *             ObjectName objectName = newObjectName(
+ *                     "com.example:type=Property,name=" +
+ *                     ObjectName.quote(propName));
+ *             names.add(objectName);
+ *         }
+ *         return names;
+ *     }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p id="virtual-notif-example">Because the {@code getDynamicMBeanFor} method
+ * returns a different object every time it is called, the default handling
+ * of notifications will not work, as explained <a href="#notifs">below</a>.
+ * In this case it does not matter, because the object returned by {@code
+ * getDynamicMBeanFor} is not a {@code NotificationEmitter}, so {@link
+ * MBeanServer#addNotificationListener(ObjectName, NotificationListener,
+ * NotificationFilter, Object) MBeanServer.addNotificationListener} will
+ * always fail. But if we wanted to extend {@code PropsMBS} so that the MBean
+ * for property {@code "foo"} emitted a notification every time that property
+ * changed, we would need to do it as shown below. (Because there is no API to
+ * be informed when a property changes, this code assumes that some other code
+ * calls the {@code propertyChanged} method every time a property changes.)</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * public class PropsMBS {
+ *     ...as <a href="#PropsMBS">above</a>...
+ *
+ *     private final {@link VirtualEventManager} vem = new VirtualEventManager();
+ *
+ *     &#64;Override
+ *     public NotificationEmitter {@link #getNotificationEmitterFor
+ *                                       getNotificationEmitterFor}(
+ *             ObjectName name) throws InstanceNotFoundException {
+ *         getDynamicMBeanFor(name);  // check that the name is valid
+ *         return vem.{@link VirtualEventManager#getNotificationEmitterFor
+ *                           getNotificationEmitterFor}(name);
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     public void propertyChanged(String name, String newValue) {
+ *         ObjectName objectName = newObjectName(
+ *                 "com.example:type=Property,name=" + ObjectName.quote(name));
+ *         Notification n = new Notification(
+ *                 "com.example.property.changed", objectName, 0L,
+ *                 "Property " + name + " changed");
+ *         n.setUserData(newValue);
+ *         vem.{@link VirtualEventManager#publish publish}(objectName, n);
+ *     }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <h4 id="creation">MBean creation and deletion</h4>
+ *
+ * <p>MBean creation through {@code MBeanServer.createMBean} is disabled
+ * by default. Subclasses which need to support MBean creation
+ * through {@code createMBean} need to implement a single method {@link
+ * #createMBean(String, ObjectName, ObjectName, Object[], String[],
+ * boolean)}.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Similarly MBean registration and unregistration through {@code
+ * registerMBean} and {@code unregisterMBean} are disabled by default.
+ * Subclasses which need to support MBean registration and
+ * unregistration will need to implement {@link #registerMBean registerMBean}
+ * and {@link #unregisterMBean unregisterMBean}.</p>
+ *
+ * <h4 id="notifs">Notifications</h4>
+ *
+ * <p>By default {@link MBeanServer#addNotificationListener(ObjectName,
+ * NotificationListener, NotificationFilter, Object) addNotificationListener}
+ * is accepted for an MBean <em>{@code name}</em> if {@link #getDynamicMBeanFor
+ * getDynamicMBeanFor}<code>(<em>name</em>)</code> returns an object that is a
+ * {@link NotificationEmitter}.  That is appropriate if
+ * {@code getDynamicMBeanFor}<code>(<em>name</em>)</code> always returns the
+ * same object for the same <em>{@code name}</em>.  But with
+ * Virtual MBeans, every call to {@code getDynamicMBeanFor} returns a new object,
+ * which is discarded as soon as the MBean request has finished.
+ * So a listener added to that object would be immediately forgotten.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>The simplest way for a subclass that defines Virtual MBeans
+ * to support notifications is to create a private {@link VirtualEventManager}
+ * and override the method {@link
+ * #getNotificationEmitterFor getNotificationEmitterFor} as follows:</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ *     private final VirtualEventManager vem = new VirtualEventManager();
+ *
+ *     &#64;Override
+ *     public NotificationEmitter getNotificationEmitterFor(
+ *             ObjectName name) throws InstanceNotFoundException {
+ *         // Check that the name is a valid Virtual MBean.
+ *         // This is the easiest way to do that, but not always the
+ *         // most efficient:
+ *         getDynamicMBeanFor(name);
+ *
+ *         // Return an object that supports add/removeNotificationListener
+ *         // through the VirtualEventManager.
+ *         return vem.getNotificationEmitterFor(name);
+ *     }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>A notification <em>{@code n}</em> can then be sent from the Virtual MBean
+ * called <em>{@code name}</em> by calling {@link VirtualEventManager#publish
+ * vem.publish}<code>(<em>name</em>, <em>n</em>)</code>.  See the example
+ * <a href="#virtual-notif-example">above</a>.</p>
