  - ### newMBeanProxy

    public static <T> T newMBeanProxy(MBeanServerConnection connection, ObjectName objectName, Class<T> interfaceClass)

    Make a proxy for a Standard MBean in a local or remote MBean Server.

    If you have an MBean Server `mbs` containing an MBean with `ObjectName` `name`, and if the MBean's management interface is described by the Java interface `MyMBean`, you can construct a proxy for the MBean like this:

         MyMBean proxy = JMX.newMBeanProxy(mbs, name, MyMBean.class);

    Suppose, for example, `MyMBean` looks like this:

         public interface MyMBean {
             public String getSomeAttribute();
             public void setSomeAttribute(String value);
             public void someOperation(String param1, int param2);
         }

    Then you can execute:

    - `proxy.getSomeAttribute()` which will result in a call to `mbs.``getAttribute``(name, "SomeAttribute")`.
    - `proxy.setSomeAttribute("whatever")` which will result in a call to `mbs.``setAttribute``(name, new Attribute("SomeAttribute", "whatever"))`.
    - `proxy.someOperation("param1", 2)` which will be translated into a call to `mbs.``invoke``(name, "someOperation", <etc>)`.

    The object returned by this method is a `Proxy` whose `InvocationHandler` is an `MBeanServerInvocationHandler`.

    This method is equivalent to `newMBeanProxy(connection, objectName, interfaceClass, false)`.

    Type Parameters:
      `T` - allows the compiler to know that if the `interfaceClass` parameter is `MyMBean.class`, for example, then the return type is `MyMBean`.
    Parameters:
      `connection` - the MBean server to forward to.
      `objectName` - the name of the MBean within `connection` to forward to.
      `interfaceClass` - the management interface that the MBean exports, which will also be implemented by the returned proxy.
    Returns:
      the new proxy instance.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `interfaceClass` is not a compliant MBean interface

  - ### newMBeanProxy

    public static <T> T newMBeanProxy(MBeanServerConnection connection, ObjectName objectName, Class<T> interfaceClass, boolean notificationEmitter)

    Make a proxy for a Standard MBean in a local or remote MBean Server that may also support the methods of `NotificationEmitter`.

    This method behaves the same as `newMBeanProxy(MBeanServerConnection, ObjectName, Class)`, but additionally, if `notificationEmitter` is `true`, then the MBean is assumed to be a `NotificationBroadcaster` or `NotificationEmitter` and the returned proxy will implement `NotificationEmitter` as well as `interfaceClass`. A call to `NotificationBroadcaster.addNotificationListener(javax.management.NotificationListener, javax.management.NotificationFilter, java.lang.Object)` on the proxy will result in a call to `MBeanServerConnection.addNotificationListener(ObjectName, NotificationListener, NotificationFilter, Object)`, and likewise for the other methods of `NotificationBroadcaster` and `NotificationEmitter`.

    Type Parameters:
      `T` - allows the compiler to know that if the `interfaceClass` parameter is `MyMBean.class`, for example, then the return type is `MyMBean`.
    Parameters:
      `connection` - the MBean server to forward to.
      `objectName` - the name of the MBean within `connection` to forward to.
      `interfaceClass` - the management interface that the MBean exports, which will also be implemented by the returned proxy.
      `notificationEmitter` - make the returned proxy implement `NotificationEmitter` by forwarding its methods via `connection`.
    Returns:
      the new proxy instance.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `interfaceClass` is not a compliant MBean interface

  - ### newMXBeanProxy

    public static <T> T newMXBeanProxy(MBeanServerConnection connection, ObjectName objectName, Class<T> interfaceClass)
    Make a proxy for an MXBean in a local or remote MBean Server.

    If you have an MBean Server `mbs` containing an MXBean with `ObjectName` `name`, and if the MXBean's management interface is described by the Java interface `MyMXBean`, you can construct a proxy for the MXBean like this:

         MyMXBean proxy = JMX.newMXBeanProxy(mbs, name, MyMXBean.class);

    Suppose, for example, `MyMXBean` looks like this:

         public interface MyMXBean {
             public String getSimpleAttribute();
             public void setSimpleAttribute(String value);
             public MemoryUsage getMappedAttribute();
             public void setMappedAttribute(MemoryUsage memoryUsage);
             public MemoryUsage someOperation(String param1, MemoryUsage param2);
         }

    Then:

    - `proxy.getSimpleAttribute()` will result in a call to `mbs.``getAttribute``(name, "SimpleAttribute")`.

    - `proxy.setSimpleAttribute("whatever")` will result in a call to `mbs.``setAttribute``(name, new Attribute("SimpleAttribute", "whatever"))`.

      Because `String` is a simple type, in the sense of `SimpleType`, it is not changed in the context of an MXBean. The MXBean proxy behaves the same as a Standard MBean proxy (see `newMBeanProxy`) for the attribute `SimpleAttribute`.

    - `proxy.getMappedAttribute()` will result in a call to `mbs.getAttribute("MappedAttribute")`. The MXBean mapping rules mean that the actual type of the attribute `MappedAttribute` will be `CompositeData` and that is what the `mbs.getAttribute` call will return. The proxy will then convert the `CompositeData` back into the expected type `MemoryUsage` using the MXBean mapping rules.

    - Similarly, `proxy.setMappedAttribute(memoryUsage)` will convert the `MemoryUsage` argument into a `CompositeData` before calling `mbs.setAttribute`.

    - `proxy.someOperation("whatever", memoryUsage)` will convert the `MemoryUsage` argument into a `CompositeData` and call `mbs.invoke`. The value returned by `mbs.invoke` will be also be a `CompositeData`, and the proxy will convert this into the expected type `MemoryUsage` using the MXBean mapping rules.

    The object returned by this method is a `Proxy` whose `InvocationHandler` is an `MBeanServerInvocationHandler`.

    This method is equivalent to `newMXBeanProxy(connection, objectName, interfaceClass, false)`.

    Type Parameters:
      `T` - allows the compiler to know that if the `interfaceClass` parameter is `MyMXBean.class`, for example, then the return type is `MyMXBean`.
    Parameters:
      `connection` - the MBean server to forward to.
      `objectName` - the name of the MBean within `connection` to forward to.
      `interfaceClass` - the MXBean interface, which will also be implemented by the returned proxy.
    Returns:
      the new proxy instance.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `interfaceClass` is not a `compliant MXBean interface`

  - ### newMXBeanProxy

    public static <T> T newMXBeanProxy(MBeanServerConnection connection, ObjectName objectName, Class<T> interfaceClass, boolean notificationEmitter)

    Make a proxy for an MXBean in a local or remote MBean Server that may also support the methods of `NotificationEmitter`.

    This method behaves the same as `newMXBeanProxy(MBeanServerConnection, ObjectName, Class)`, but additionally, if `notificationEmitter` is `true`, then the MXBean is assumed to be a `NotificationBroadcaster` or `NotificationEmitter` and the returned proxy will implement `NotificationEmitter` as well as `interfaceClass`. A call to `NotificationBroadcaster.addNotificationListener(javax.management.NotificationListener, javax.management.NotificationFilter, java.lang.Object)` on the proxy will result in a call to `MBeanServerConnection.addNotificationListener(ObjectName, NotificationListener, NotificationFilter, Object)`, and likewise for the other methods of `NotificationBroadcaster` and `NotificationEmitter`.

    Type Parameters:
      `T` - allows the compiler to know that if the `interfaceClass` parameter is `MyMXBean.class`, for example, then the return type is `MyMXBean`.
    Parameters:
      `connection` - the MBean server to forward to.
      `objectName` - the name of the MBean within `connection` to forward to.
      `interfaceClass` - the MXBean interface, which will also be implemented by the returned proxy.
      `notificationEmitter` - make the returned proxy implement `NotificationEmitter` by forwarding its methods via `connection`.
    Returns:
      the new proxy instance.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `interfaceClass` is not a `compliant MXBean interface`

  - ### isMXBeanInterface

    public static boolean isMXBeanInterface(Class<?> interfaceClass)

    Test whether an interface is an MXBean interface. An interface is an MXBean interface if it is public, annotated `@MXBean` or `@MXBean(true)` or if it does not have an `@MXBean` annotation and its name ends with "`MXBean`".

    Parameters:
      `interfaceClass` - The candidate interface.
    Returns:
      true if `interfaceClass` is a `compliant MXBean interface`
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if `interfaceClass` is null.
