 This class is the interface to be implemented by MBeans that are meant to be
 persistent.  MBeans supporting this interface should call the load method during
 construction in order to prime the MBean from the persistent store.
 In the case of a ModelMBean, the store method should be called by the MBeanServer based on the descriptors in
 the ModelMBean or by the MBean itself during normal processing of the ModelMBean.

Since:1.5

Captures the current state of this MBean instance and
writes it out to the persistent store.  The state stored could include
attribute and operation values. If one of these methods of persistence is
not supported a "serviceNotFound" exception will be thrown.


Persistence policy from the MBean and attribute descriptor is used to guide execution
of this method. The MBean should be stored if 'persistPolicy' field is:

  != "never"
  = "always"
  = "onTimer" and now > 'lastPersistTime' + 'persistPeriod'
  = "NoMoreOftenThan" and now > 'lastPersistTime' + 'persistPeriod'

Do not store the MBean if 'persistPolicy' field is:
   = "never"
   = "onUpdate"
   = "onTimer" && now < 'lastPersistTime' + 'persistPeriod'
