/**
 * <p>
 * This interface represents a server for management beans,
 * providing facilities for the creation, registration and
 * removal of such beans.  This interface is central to the
 * Java management architecture.  Users do not usually implement
 * this class.  Instead, implementations of this class
 * may be obtained using an {@link MBeanServerFactory}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Registering a bean with the server makes its attributes and
 * operations accessible via the server.  Only JMX compliant
 * beans may be registered with the server.  When a bean
 * is registered or unregistered, an {@link MBeanServerNotification}
 * is emitted by the server's {@link MBeanServerDelegate}.
 * Listeners may be registered with this bean in order to
 * obtain such notifications.  It has the {@link ObjectName}
 * <code>JMImplementation:type=MBeanServerDelegate</code>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Security checks are applied on the methods of the server,
 * as detailed below, if it is obtained using the
 * {@link MBeanServerFactory#createMBeanServer()} or
 * {@link MBeanServerFactory#newMBeanServer()} methods and
 * {@link System.getSecurityManager()} returns a non-<code>null</code>
 * value.  If a check fails, a {@link SecurityException}
 * is thrown.  Note than the class name used in the exception
 * is that of the bean, and thus, as a result, an
 * {@link InstanceNotFoundException}
 * precludes these security checks, due to the class name
 * that would be used in the exception being unavailable.
 * </p>
