Method Summary
`ManagedAttribute` `getManagedAttribute(Method method)` Implementations should return an instance of `ManagedAttribute` if the supplied `Method` has the corresponding metadata.
`ManagedNotification[]` `getManagedNotifications(Class clazz)` Implementations should return an array of `ManagedNotifications` if the supplied the `Class` has the corresponding metadata.
`ManagedOperation` `getManagedOperation(Method method)` Implementations should return an instance of `ManagedOperation` if the supplied `Method` has the corresponding metadata.
`ManagedOperationParameter[]` `getManagedOperationParameters(Method method)` Implementations should return an array of `ManagedOperationParameter` if the supplied `Method` has the corresponding metadata.
`ManagedResource` `getManagedResource(Class clazz)` Implementations should return an instance of `ManagedResource` if the supplied `Class` has the appropriate metadata.

Method Detail

### getManagedResource

    ManagedResource getManagedResource(Class clazz)
                                       throws InvalidMetadataException

    `clazz` - the class to read the attribute data from
  Returns:
    the attribute, or `null` if not found
  Throws:
    `InvalidMetadataException` - in case of invalid attributes

### getManagedAttribute

    ManagedAttribute getManagedAttribute(Method method)
                                         throws InvalidMetadataException

  Implementations should return an instance of `ManagedAttribute` if the supplied `Method` has the corresponding metadata. Otherwise should return `null`.

  Parameters:
    `method` - the method to read the attribute data from
  Returns:
    the attribute, or `null` if not found
  Throws:
    `InvalidMetadataException` - in case of invalid attributes

### getManagedOperation

    ManagedOperation getManagedOperation(Method method)
                                         throws InvalidMetadataException

  Implementations should return an instance of `ManagedOperation` if the supplied `Method` has the corresponding metadata. Otherwise should return `null`.

  Parameters:
    `method` - the method to read the attribute data from
  Returns:
    the attribute, or `null` if not found
  Throws:
    `InvalidMetadataException` - in case of invalid attributes

### getManagedOperationParameters

    ManagedOperationParameter[] getManagedOperationParameters(Method method)
                                                              throws InvalidMetadataException

  Implementations should return an array of `ManagedOperationParameter` if the supplied `Method` has the corresponding metadata. Otherwise should return an empty array if no metadata is found.

  Parameters:
    `method` - the `Method` to read the metadata from
  Returns:
    the parameter information.
  Throws:
    `InvalidMetadataException` - in the case of invalid attributes.

### getManagedNotifications

    ManagedNotification[] getManagedNotifications(Class clazz)
                                                  throws InvalidMetadataException

  Implementations should return an array of `ManagedNotifications` if the supplied the `Class` has the corresponding metadata. Otherwise should return an empty array.

  Parameters:
    `clazz` - the `Class` to read the metadata from
  Returns:
    the notification information
  Throws:
    `InvalidMetadataException` - in the case of invalid metadata
