/**
* <p>Can be implemented by an MBean in order to
* carry out operations before and after being registered or unregistered from
* the MBean Server. An MBean can also implement this interface in order
* to get a reference to the MBean Server and/or its name within that
* MBean Server.</p>
*
* <h4 id="injection">Resource injection</h4>
*
* <p>As an alternative to implementing {@code MBeanRegistration}, if all that
* is needed is the MBean Server or ObjectName then an MBean can use
* <em>resource injection</em>.</p>
*
* <p>If a field in the MBean object has type {@link ObjectName} and has
* the {@link javax.annotation.Resource &#64;Resource} annotation,
* then the {@code ObjectName} under which the MBean is registered is
* assigned to that field during registration. Likewise, if a field has type
* {@link MBeanServer} and the <code>&#64;Resource</code> annotation, then it will
* be set to the {@code MBeanServer} in which the MBean is registered.</p>
*
* <p>For example:</p>
*
* <pre>
* public Configuration implements ConfigurationMBean {
* &#64;Resource
* private volatile MBeanServer mbeanServer;
* &#64;Resource
* private volatile ObjectName objectName;
* ...
* void unregisterSelf() throws Exception {
* mbeanServer.unregisterMBean(objectName);
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* <p>Resource injection can also be used on fields of type
* {@link SendNotification} to simplify notification sending. Such a field
* will get a reference to an object of type {@code SendNotification} when
* the MBean is registered, and it can use this reference to send notifications.
* For example:</p>
*
* <pre>
* public Configuration implements ConfigurationMBean {
* &#64;Resource
* private volatile SendNotification sender;
* ...
* private void updated() {
* Notification n = new Notification(...);
* sender.sendNotification(n);
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* <p>A field to be injected must not be static. It is recommended that
* such fields be declared {@code volatile}.</p>
*
* <p>It is also possible to use the <code>&#64;Resource</code> annotation on
* methods. Such a method must have a {@code void} return type and a single
* argument of the appropriate type, for example {@code ObjectName}.</p>
*
* <p>Any number of fields and methods may have the <code>&#64;Resource</code>
* annotation. All fields and methods with type {@code ObjectName}
* (for example) will receive the same {@code ObjectName} value.</p>
*
* <p>Resource injection is available for all types of MBeans, not just
* Standard MBeans.</p>
*
* <p>If an MBean implements the {@link DynamicWrapperMBean} interface then
* resource injection happens on the object returned by that interface's
* {@link DynamicWrapperMBean#getWrappedObject() getWrappedObject()} method
* rather than on the MBean object itself.
*
* <p>Resource injection happens after the {@link #preRegister preRegister}
* method is called (if any), and before the MBean is actually registered
* in the MBean Server. If a <code>&#64;Resource</code> method throws
* an exception, the effect is the same as if {@code preRegister} had
* thrown the exception. In particular it will prevent the MBean from being
* registered.</p>
*
* <p>Resource injection can be used on a field or method where the type
* is a parent of the injected type, if the injected type is explicitly
* specified in the <code>&#64;Resource</code> annotation. For example:</p>
*
* <pre>
* &#64;Resource(type = MBeanServer.class)
* private volatile MBeanServerConnection mbsc;
* </pre>
*
* <p>Formally, suppose <em>R</em> is the type in the <code>&#64;Resource</code>
* annotation and <em>T</em> is the type of the method parameter or field.
* Then one of <em>R</em> and <em>T</em> must be a subtype of the other
* (or they must be the same type). Injection happens if this subtype
* is {@code MBeanServer}, {@code ObjectName}, or {@code SendNotification}.
* Otherwise the <code>&#64;Resource</code> annotation is ignored.</p>
*
* <p>Resource injection in MBeans is new in version 2.0 of the JMX API.</p>
*
* @since 1.5
