Interact with a JMX MBean

In order to call a method on an JMX MBean you must know its ObjectName on the server. This can be identified in advance and the exact ObjectName hardcoded/generated in your application, however any evolution of the MBeans ObjectName on the server in future versions would cause such implementation to fail when the ObjectNames no longer exactly match. This will not be identified until an opertion is attempted, as the code does not check that the MBean defined by the ObjectName actually exists before using the ObjectName and would only fail when calling a method and the target is not found by the MbeanServer.
