/**
 * This class is the implementation of a ModelMBean. An appropriate
 * implementation of a ModelMBean must be shipped with every JMX Agent
 * and the class must be named RequiredModelMBean.
 * <P>
 * Java resources wishing to be manageable instantiate the
 * RequiredModelMBean using the MBeanServer's createMBean method.
 * The resource then sets the MBeanInfo and Descriptors for the
 * RequiredModelMBean instance. The attributes and operations exposed
 * via the ModelMBeanInfo for the ModelMBean 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 in an XML formatted file or dynamically and
 * programmatically at runtime.
 * <P>
 * Every RequiredModelMBean which is instantiated in the MBeanServer
 * becomes manageable:<br>
 * its attributes and operations become remotely accessible through the
 * connectors/adaptors connected to that MBeanServer.
 * <P>
 * A Java object cannot be registered in the MBeanServer unless it is a
 * JMX compliant MBean. By instantiating a RequiredModelMBean, 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.)

      The requirement to be able to invoke methods on the
      RequiredModelMBean class itself makes this method considerably
      more complicated than it might otherwise be.  Note that, unlike
      earlier versions, we do not allow you to invoke such methods if
      they are not explicitly mentioned in the ModelMBeanInfo.  Doing
      so was potentially a security problem, and certainly very
      surprising.

      We do not look for the method in the RequiredModelMBean class
      itself if:
      (a) there is a "targetObject" field in the Descriptor for the
      operation; or
      (b) there is a "class" field in the Descriptor for the operation
      and the named class is not RequiredModelMBean or one of its
      superinterfaces; or
      (c) the name of the operation is not the name of a method in
      RequiredModelMBean (this is just an optimization).

      In cases (a) and (b), if you have gone to the trouble of adding
      those fields specifically for this operation then presumably you
      do not want RequiredModelMBean's methods to be called.

      We have to pay attention to class loading issues.  If the
      "class" field is present, the named class has to be resolved
      relative to RequiredModelMBean's class loader to test the
      condition (b) above, and relative to the managed resource's
      class loader to ensure that the managed resource is in fact of
      the named class (or a subclass).  The class names in the sig
      array likewise have to be resolved, first against
      RequiredModelMBean's class loader, then against the managed
      resource's class loader.  There is no point in using any other
      loader because when we call Method.invoke we must call it on
      a Method that is implemented by the target object.
