The class javax.management.relation.MBeanServerNotificationFilter allows you to receive registration and/or unregistration notifications for a subset of MBean names. It is configured by adding the names to a list. The meaning of adding an ObjectName pattern is obvious but in fact it does not work. The MBeanServerNotificationFilter class allows the pattern to be added, but since it only compares names for equality the pattern has no effect.

The class should be changed so that patterns work.
