 * This interface has to be implemented by any MBean class expected to

 * <P>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).
 * <P>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).
 * <P>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.
