| * the <a href="#spec">JMX Specification</a>.</p> | |
| * | |
| * <p>An MBean that is of a subclass of {@link | |
| * java.lang.ClassLoader} can be used as a class loader to create | |
| * other MBeans via the method {@link | |
| * javax.management.MBeanServer#createMBean(String, ObjectName, | |
| * ObjectName, Object[], String[])}, and to instantiate arbitrary | |
| * objects via the method {@link | |
| * javax.management.MBeanServer#instantiate(String, ObjectName, | |
| * Object[], String[])}.</p> | |
| * | |
| * <p>Every MBean Server has a <em>class loader repository</em> | |
| * containing all MBeans registered in that MBean Server that | |
| * are of a subclass of {@link java.lang.ClassLoader}. The class | |
| * loader repository is used by the forms of the | |
| * <code>createMBean</code> and <code>instantiate</code> methods | |
| * in the {@link javax.management.MBeanServer MBeanServer} | |
| * interface that do not have an explicit loader parameter.</p> | |
| * | |
| * <p>If an MBean implements the interface {@link | |
| * javax.management.loading.PrivateClassLoader PrivateClassLoader}, | |
| * then it is not added to the class loader repository.</p> | |
