public interface Startable
An interface which is implemented by components that can be started and stopped. The start()
must be called at the begin of the component lifecycle. It can be called again only after a call to
stop()
. The stop()
method must be called at the end of the component lifecycle,
and can further be called after every start()
. If a component implements the Disposable
interface as well, stop()
should be called before Disposable.dispose()
.
For more advanced and pluggable lifecycle support, see the functionality offered by picocontainer-gems subproject.
