Berin,
Not quite true.No client *should ever* call lifecycle members. Ever. The client is not responsible for the lifecycle of the component, the container is. It is a violation of contracts for that to happen.
The client-code may host it's own mini component-like beans, for reasons of modularity etc. In the start() method of a real component, it is quite kosher to propogate a start() call to a bean that is in all other senses unknown to the container.
