Clarify what RMIConnectorServer.getAttributes() should/could return

Name: skR10005 Date: 11/05/2003


The method RMIConnectorServer.getAttributes() returns Map which does not contain
JNDI_REBIND_ATTRIBUTE attribute in case this attribute is not set explicitly.

JMX Remote API 1.0 Specification (Summary of Environment Parameters) reads:
  "In TABLE 7-1, each parameter is defined by the following characteristics:
   * The name after the initial "jmx.remote." string
   * The type that the associated value must have
   * Whether the parameter applies to connector clients, to connector servers, or both
   * For server parameters, whether the parameter is visible, that is whether it
     appears in the Map returned by JMXConnectorServerMBean.getAttributes()"

jmx.remote.jndi.rebind parameter has the following characteristics:
  * jndi.rebind
  * String
  * Server
  * Yes
  
The last characteristic means that this parameter should appear in the Map returned
by getAttributes() method.

The following test shows that this parameter is absent.
See below the test source and the execution log:

        } catch (Throwable thr) {
            System.out.println(thr.toString());
