All Known Subinterfaces:

RelationSupportMBean

All Known Implementing Classes:

RelationSupport
```
public interface Relation
```
This interface has to be implemented by any MBean class expected to represent a relation managed using the Relation Service.
Simple relations, i.e. having only roles, no properties or methods, can be created directly by the Relation Service (represented as RelationSupport objects, internally handled by the Relation Service).
If the user wants to represent more complex relations, involving properties and/or methods, he has to provide his own class implementing the Relation interface. This can be achieved either by inheriting from RelationSupport class, or by implementing the interface (fully or delegation to a RelationSupport object member).
Specifying such user relation class is to introduce properties and/or methods. Those have to be exposed for remote management. So this means that any user relation class must be a MBean class.

    Callback used by the Relation Service when a MBean referenced in a role is unregistered.
    The Relation Service will call this method to let the relation take action to reflect the impact of such unregistration.
    BEWARE. the user is not expected to call this method.
    Current implementation is to set the role with its current value (list of ObjectNames of referenced MBeans) without the unregistered one.
    
    Parameters:
    objectName - ObjectName of unregistered MBean
    roleName - name of role where the MBean is referenced
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if null parameter
    
    RoleNotFoundException - if role does not exist in the relation or is not writable
    
    InvalidRoleValueException - if role value does not conform to the associated role info (this will never happen when called from the Relation Service)
    
    RelationServiceNotRegisteredException - if the Relation Service is not registered in the MBean Server
    
    RelationTypeNotFoundException - if the relation type has not been declared in the Relation Service.
    
    RelationNotFoundException - if this method is called for a relation MBean not added in the Relation Service.
