Quoting Niclas Hedhman <[email protected]>:

Are you talking about LifeCycle or Initializable??

They are handled slightly differently. First of all, LifeCycle methods
are only called upon creation/deletion of the Entity, not the instance
representing the entity in memory. Also, I vaguely recall that for
non-Entities, LifeCycle has no meaning.

I also recall that unlike other methods, LifeCycle methods are called
on ALL mixins of the Entity (need to verify this, since *I* normally
limit LifeCycle to a single Mixin.).

On the other hand, Initializable is called (if defined) when a Mixin
(that implements it) is instantiated.


Does that help??

The test-case is attached. When you run it, only

[main] INFO org.qi4j.api.entity.LifecycleMixinTest$SomeEntityMixinWithLCAndProperty - create called.

will get printed. The test "doTestWithLCAndProperty" will pass, but the test "doTestWithJustLC" will fail.
