At the lifecycle level:

deployment lifecycel
* a Context instance is supplied after configuration

Ahem.  With my spec-police hat on, I must insist that this is backwards!
Context comes before Configure.

OK, OK!

It's 02:46 in the morning - just back from a really nice dinner and some good wine - under these circumstances I'm allowed to make a slip or two! Aside from my excuse - I honestly have never really gotten to the point of appreciating the logic behind the order of the lifecycle between instantiation and initialization. If I had the chance to change things I would probably revise it to something like :

1. instantiation
2. configuration
3. parameterization
4. service
5. contextualization
6. initialization

... and in doing so, break all sorts of things!

Off with his head!

Deservedly so.
