I am about to do some more work on Jesktop (given there is more competition currently). Nicola Ken suggested that Jesktop could benefit from general services and I am inclided to do that, but maybe there is a case for a hot-puggable system like Jesktop to have a Lifecycleable api. As this possibly applies to Avalon in genral. As such, I'd like to propose it here :
interface Lifecycleable { // int getStage(); // maybe ? String getLifecycleInterface(); void startupLifecycle(Object obj); void shutdownLifecycle(Object obj); } DefaultLogEnabledLifecyclable extends AbstractLogEnabled implemnents Lifecyclable{ public String getLifecycleInterface() { retrurn "org.apache.avalon.framework.LogEnabled"; } public void startupLifecycle(Object obj) { ((LogEnabled) obj).enableLogging(getLogger()); } public void shutdownLifecycle(Object obj) { ((LogEnabled) obj).enableLogging(null); //maybe } } And similar for Iniializable, Startable, Dooable, Blahable...
