  • Method Details

    • start

      void start(Object component)
      Invoke the "start" method on the component instance if this is startable. It is up to the implementation of the strategy what "start" and "startable" means.
      Parameters:
      component - the instance of the component to start
    • stop

      void stop(Object component)
      Invoke the "stop" method on the component instance if this is stoppable. It is up to the implementation of the strategy what "stop" and "stoppable" means.
      Parameters:
      component - the instance of the component to stop
    • dispose

      void dispose(Object component)
      Invoke the "dispose" method on the component instance if this is disposable. It is up to the implementation of the strategy what "dispose" and "disposable" means.
      Parameters:
      component - the instance of the component to dispose
    • hasLifecycle

      boolean hasLifecycle(Class<?> type)
      Test if a component instance has a lifecycle.
      Parameters:
      type - the component's type
      Returns:
      true if the component has a lifecycle
    • isLazy

      boolean isLazy(ComponentAdapter<?> adapter)
      Is a component eager (not lazy) in that it should start when start() or equivalent is called, or lazy (it will only start on first getComponent() ). The default is the first of those two.
      Parameters:
      adapter -
      Returns:
      true if lazy, false if not lazy
