        `mbeanClassName` - name of the class of MBean(s) expected to be referenced in corresponding role. If an MBean M is in this role, then the MBean server must return true for `isInstanceOf(M, mbeanClassName)`.
        `read` - flag to indicate if the corresponding role can be read
        `write` - flag to indicate if the corresponding role can be set
        `min` - minimum degree for role, i.e. minimum number of MBeans to provide in corresponding role Must be less than or equal to `max`. (ROLE_CARDINALITY_INFINITY for unlimited)
        `max` - maximum degree for role, i.e. maximum number of MBeans to provide in corresponding role Must be greater than or equal to `min` (ROLE_CARDINALITY_INFINITY for unlimited)

        `IllegalArgumentException` - if null parameter
        `InvalidRoleInfoException` - if the minimum degree is greater than the maximum degree.
        `ClassNotFoundException` - As of JMX 1.2, this exception can no longer be thrown. It is retained in the declaration of this class for compatibility with existing code.
        `NotCompliantMBeanException` - if the class mbeanClassName is not a MBean class.
