because otherwise, when you are in the stop state, you don't know if it is a definitive stop (in which case you shouln't block the valve for example) or a temporary stop (in which case you may want to give a way to a service/application to provide some temporary state that the service controller can give it back once the service is restarted for example) > > We must really implement the restart trick for 4.0 as it is one of the > > only > > way to cleanly implement the "valve" trick (block the valve for new > > invocations as we cycle the app/service). > > I was planning to move the dependency logic from ServiceController to > ServiceContext and make ServiceContext an mbean interceptor.

Well, then you cannot update the list of the JMX interceptors as you cycle your service, right? Otherwise, how do you cycle the "ServiceContext" interceptor? At one point, independently of where do you manage that, I am pretty sure that you need a part of the system that thinks "I do think in a specific way because it is a restart and not a definitive stop". You don't think so?
