Spring Reference Documentation is missing documentation of restrictions of ManagedAttribute and ManagedOperation [SPR-6026]

[spring-projects-issues]

Stefan Fleiter opened SPR-6026 and commented

The Javadoc of ManagedAttribute
(http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.6/api/org/springframework/jmx/export/annotation/ManagedAttribute.html)
states "Only valid when used on a JavaBean getter or setter ".

The Javadoc of ManagedOperation
(http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.6/api/org/springframework/jmx/export/annotation/ManagedOperation.html)
states "Only valid when used on a method that is not a JavaBean getter or setter".

Both facts are not part of the spring reference documentation at
http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/reference/jmx.html.
Took some time for me to find out.
Please add it to the documentation or remove the restrictions.

Also see #10528.

The docs says in "Table 22.2. Source-Level Metadata Types" that @ManagedAttribute is a method level annotation for getters and setters.

The restriction on @ManagedOperation has been removed since 3.0.RC1.
