Description
The method JMXNamespaces.narrowToNamespace(JMXConnector) is underspecified. It does not say what happens if the target namespace does not exist at the time it is called, or at a later time when getMBeanServerConnection() is called on the returned JMXConnector. It declares IOException as thrown but does not say under what circumstances that happens.
Comments
EVALUATION Given its woolly semantics, it's not clear that this method should continue to exist, but if it does then its spec must be tightened up.
