| /** |
| * Service that provides a control mechanism. |
| * <BR> |
| * The control service allows applications and Edgent itself to |
| * register control interfaces generically. The style of a control interface |
| * is similar to a JMX Management Bean (MBean), specifically a JMX MXBean. |
| * <BR> |
| * No dependency is created on any JMX interface to allow running on systems |
| * that do not support JMX, such as Android. |
| * <P> |
| * Different implementations of the control service provide the mechanism |
| * to execute methods of the control interfaces. For example |
| * {@code JMXControlService} |
| * registers the MBeans in the JMX platform MBean server. |
| * <BR> |
| * The control service is intended to allow remote execution of a control interface |
| * through any mechanism. The control service provides operations and attributes |
| * similar to JMX. It does not provide notifications. |
| * </P> |
| * <P> |
| * An instance of a control service MBean is defined by its: |
| * </P> |
| * <UL> |
| * <LI> A type </LI> |
| * <LI> A identifier - Unique within the current execution context.</LI> |
| * <LI> An alias - Optional, but can be combined with the control MBeans's type |
| * to logically identify a control MBean. </LI> |
| * <LI> A Java interface - This defines what operations can be executed |
| * against the control MBean.</LI> |
| * </UL> |
| * <P> |
| * A remote system should be able to specify an operation on an |
| * control server MBean though its alias and type. For example |
| * an application might be submitted with a fixed name |
| * <em>PumpAnalytics</em> (as its alias) |
| * to allow its {@link org.apache.edgent.execution.mbeans.JobMXBean JobMXBean} |
| * to be determined remotely using a combination of |
| * {@link org.apache.edgent.execution.mbeans.JobMXBean#TYPE JobMXBean.TYPE} |
| * and <em>PumpAnalytics</em>. |
| * </P> |
| * <P> |
| * Control service implementations may be limited in their capabilities, |
| * for example when using the JMX control service the full capabilities |
| * of JMX can be used, such as complex types in a control service MBean interface. |
| * Portable applications would limit themselves to a smaller subset of |
| * capabilities, such as only primitive types and enums. |
| * <BR> |
| * The method {@link Controls#isControlServiceMBean(Class)} defines |
| * the minimal supported interface for any control service. |
| * </P> |
