Allow the ManagedResource/Attribute/Metric/Operation to be placed on interface [SPR-13138]

[spring-projects-issues]

Mathieu Lachance opened SPR-13138 and commented

I'd like to ship in a separate jar my MBean interface so other can consume it remotely using the MBeanProxyFactoryBean.

Having the ManagedResource/Attribute.... placed over the api interface would allows self-documentation through annotations and be "DRY" (don't repeat yourself).

This improvement would make ManagedResource/Attribute.... similar to the Spring RESTful MVC annotations that can be placed over the interface. Validated/constraints annotations follow also the same pattern.

I've used improvement as the issue type, as I do not know if this is actually a bug.

This is actually implemented as of 4.2.4. I have added a test that validates that use cases on master.
