Lifecycle management concerns the process of incarnation, runtime
management, and etherialization. Incarnation is the sequence involving
instantiation and possible application of a series of lifecycle stage processes
(such as configuration, contextualization, etc.). Runtime management deals
with the suspension, resumption of a component. Etherialization represents the
process of component end-of-life processing possibly involving the application
of multiple lifecycle phases (e.g. disposal).

- <p>
Runtime management deals with interaction with a component between the
incarnation and etherialization stages. The Avalon framework defines the
notion of a suspendable component. The framework also defines a number of
delivery interfaces dealing with reintroduction of lifecycle artificats. None
of the framework reintroduction interfaces are supported - instead, runtime
management is approached as a management concern wherein any existing artifact
delivery interface may be reused by a container while a component is under a
suspended state. The action of resumption is equivalent to the notion of
re-initialization.

interfaces. If the component implements Executable the execute method will be
invoked before the component instance is exposed to any other component. If
the component implements the Startable interface the container will invoke the
start operation. An implementation is responsible for establishing a working
thread and returned from the start operation promptly.</p>

<section name="Runtime Management">
<p>
Runtime management deals with interaction with a component between the
incarnation and etherialization stages. The Avalon framework defines the
notion of a suspendable component. The framework also defines a number of
delivery interfaces dealing with reintroduction of lifecycle artificats. None
of the framework reintroduction interfaces are supported - instead, runtime
management is approached as a management concern wherein any existing artifact
delivery interface may be reused by a container while a component is under a
suspended state. The action of resumption is equivalent to the notion of
re-initialization.

<p>
A component implementing the the <a
href="http://avalon.apache.org/framework/api/org/apache/avalon/framework/activity/Suspendable.html";>Suspendable</a>
lifecycle may be suspended by a container management system. Following
suspension a container may re-apply lifecycle artifact delivery stages
(logging, contextualization, service, parameterization).
