### createMBean

    ObjectInstance createMBean(String className,
                               ObjectName name)
                               throws ReflectionException,
                                      InstanceAlreadyExistsException,
                                      MBeanRegistrationException,
                                      MBeanException,
                                      NotCompliantMBeanException,
                                      IOException

  Instantiates and registers an MBean in the MBean server. The MBean server will use its `Default Loader Repository` to load the class of the MBean. An object name is associated to the MBean. If the object name given is null, the MBean must provide its own name by implementing the `MBeanRegistration` interface and returning the name from the `preRegister` method.

  This method is equivalent to `createMBean(className, name, (Object[]) null, (String[]) null)`.

  Parameters:
    `className` - The class name of the MBean to be instantiated.
    `name` - The object name of the MBean. May be null.
  Returns:
    An `ObjectInstance`, containing the `ObjectName` and the Java class name of the newly instantiated MBean. If the contained `ObjectName` is `n`, the contained Java class name is ``getMBeanInfo(n)`.getClassName()`.
  Throws:
    `ReflectionException` - Wraps a `java.lang.ClassNotFoundException` or a ``java.lang.Exception`` that occurred when trying to invoke the MBean's constructor.
    `InstanceAlreadyExistsException` - The MBean is already under the control of the MBean server.
    `MBeanRegistrationException` - The `preRegister` (`MBeanRegistration` interface) method of the MBean has thrown an exception. The MBean will not be registered.
    `MBeanException` - The constructor of the MBean has thrown an exception
    `NotCompliantMBeanException` - This class is not a JMX compliant MBean
    `RuntimeOperationsException` - Wraps a `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`: The className passed in parameter is null, the `ObjectName` passed in parameter contains a pattern or no `ObjectName` is specified for the MBean.
    `IOException` - A communication problem occurred when talking to the MBean server.

  Gets MBeans controlled by the MBean server. This method allows any of the following to be obtained: All MBeans, a set of MBeans specified by pattern matching on the `ObjectName` and/or a Query expression, a specific MBean. When the object name is null or no domain and key properties are specified, all objects are to be selected (and filtered if a query is specified). It returns the set of `ObjectInstance` objects (containing the `ObjectName` and the Java Class name) for the selected MBeans.

  Parameters:
    `name` - The object name pattern identifying the MBeans to be retrieved. If null or no domain and key properties are specified, all the MBeans registered will be retrieved.

    The object returned by the operation, which represents the result of invoking the operation on the MBean specified.
  Throws:
    `InstanceNotFoundException` - The MBean specified is not registered in the MBean server.
    `MBeanException` - Wraps an exception thrown by the MBean's invoked method.
    `ReflectionException` - Wraps a `java.lang.Exception` thrown while trying to invoke the method.

### getDefaultDomain

    String getDefaultDomain()
                            throws IOException

  Returns the default domain used for naming the MBean. The default domain name is used as the domain part in the ObjectName of MBeans if no domain is specified by the user.

  Returns:
    the default domain.
  Throws:
    `IOException` - A communication problem occurred when talking to the MBean server.

### getDomains

    String[] getDomains()
                        throws IOException

  Returns the list of domains in which any MBean is currently registered. A string is in the returned array if and only if there is at least one MBean registered with an ObjectName whose `getDomain()` is equal to that string. The order of strings within the returned array is not defined.

  Returns:
    the list of domains.
  Throws:
    `IOException` - A communication problem occurred when talking to the MBean server.

### addNotificationListener

    void addNotificationListener(ObjectName name,
                                 NotificationListener listener,
                                 NotificationFilter filter,
                                 Object handback)
                                 throws InstanceNotFoundException,
                                        IOException

  Adds a listener to a registered MBean.

  A notification emitted by an MBean will be forwarded by the MBeanServer to the listener. If the source of the notification is a reference to an MBean object, the MBean server will replace it by that MBean's ObjectName. Otherwise the source is unchanged.

  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the MBean on which the listener should be added.
    `listener` - The listener object which will handle the notifications emitted by the registered MBean.
    `filter` - The filter object. If filter is null, no filtering will be performed before handling notifications.
    `handback` - The context to be sent to the listener when a notification is emitted.
  Throws:
    `InstanceNotFoundException` - The MBean name provided does not match any of the registered MBeans.
    `IOException` - A communication problem occurred when talking to the MBean server.

                                        IOException

  Adds a listener to a registered MBean.

  A notification emitted by an MBean will be forwarded by the MBeanServer to the listener. If the source of the notification is a reference to an MBean object, the MBean server will replace it by that MBean's ObjectName. Otherwise the source is unchanged.

  The listener object that receives notifications is the one that is registered with the given name at the time this method is called. Even if it is subsequently unregistered, it will continue to receive notifications.

  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the MBean on which the listener should be added.
    `listener` - The object name of the listener which will handle the notifications emitted by the registered MBean.
    `filter` - The filter object. If filter is null, no filtering will be performed before handling notifications.
    `handback` - The context to be sent to the listener when a notification is emitted.
  Throws:
    `InstanceNotFoundException` - The MBean name of the notification listener or of the notification broadcaster does not match any of the registered MBeans.
    `RuntimeOperationsException` - Wraps an `IllegalArgumentException`. The MBean named by `listener` exists but does not implement the `NotificationListener` interface.
    `IOException` - A communication problem occurred when talking to the MBean server.
