 * This interface is implemented by the ModelMBeanInfo for every ModelMBean. An implementation of this interface

 * must be shipped with every JMX Agent.

 * <P>

 * Java resources wishing to be manageable instantiate the ModelMBean using the MBeanServer's

 * createMBean method.  The resource then sets the ModelMBeanInfo and Descriptors for the ModelMBean

 * instance. The attributes, operations, and notifications exposed via the ModelMBeanInfo for the

 * ModelMBean comprise the management interface and are accessible

 * from MBeans, connectors/adaptors like other MBeans. Through the Descriptors, values and methods in

 * the managed application can be defined and mapped to attributes and operations of the ModelMBean.

 * This mapping can be defined during development in a file or dynamically and

 * programmatically at runtime.

 * <P>

 * Every ModelMBean which is instantiated in the MBeanServer becomes manageable:

 * its attributes, operations, and notifications

 * become remotely accessible through the connectors/adaptors connected to that MBeanServer.

 * A Java object cannot be registered in the MBeanServer unless it is a JMX compliant MBean.

 * By instantiating a ModelMBean, resources are guaranteed that the MBean is valid.

 *

 * MBeanException and RuntimeOperationsException must be thrown on every public method.  This allows

 *  for wrapping exceptions from distributed communications (RMI, EJB, etc.)
