The @ManagedAttribute annotation is used to indicate that a given method
exposes a JMX attribute. This annotation is placed always on the reader
method of a given attribute. Unless it is marked as read-only in the
configuration of the annotation a corresponding setter is looked for
following normal naming conventions. For example if this annotation is
on a method called getFoo() then a method called setFoo() would be looked
for and if found wired automatically into the jmx attribute.
