| * <p>Indicates that a method in an MBean class defines an MBean attribute. |
| * This annotation must be applied to a public method of a public class |
| * that is itself annotated with an {@link MBean @MBean} or |
| * {@link MXBean @MXBean} annotation, or inherits such an annotation from |
| * a superclass.</p> |
| * |
| * <p>The annotated method must be a getter or setter. In other words, |
| * it must look like one of the following...</p> |
| * |
| * <pre> |
| * <i>T</i> get<i>Foo</i>() |
| * void set<i>Foo</i>(<i>T</i> param) |
| * </pre> |
| * |
| * <p>...where <i>{@code T}</i> is any type and <i>{@code Foo}</i> is the |
| * name of the attribute. For any attribute <i>{@code Foo}</i>, if only |
| * a {@code get}<i>{@code Foo}</i> method has a {@code ManagedAttribute} |
| * annotation, then <i>{@code Foo}</i> is a read-only attribute. If only |
| * a {@code set}<i>{@code Foo}</i> method has a {@code ManagedAttribute} |
| * annotation, then <i>{@code Foo}</i> is a write-only attribute. If |
| * both {@code get}<i>{@code Foo}</i> and {@code set}<i>{@code Foo}</i> |
| * methods have the annotation, then <i>{@code Foo}</i> is a read-write |
| * attribute. In this last case, the type <i>{@code T}</i> must be the |
| * same in both methods.</p> |
