/**
 * <p>The Notification class represents a notification emitted by an
 * MBean.  It contains a reference to the source MBean: if the
 * notification has been forwarded through the MBean server, and the
 * original source of the notification was a reference to the emitting
 * MBean object, then the MBean server replaces it by the MBean's
 * ObjectName.  If the listener has registered directly with the
 * MBean, this is either the object name or a direct reference to the
 * MBean.</p>
 *
 * <p>It is strongly recommended that notification senders use the
 * object name rather than a reference to the MBean object as the
 * source.</p>
