The HP Core Services Framework defines the
abstract service base class by marker interfaces as

Destroyable, Initializable, Reconfigurable, Startable, Stoppable


Avalon has more marker interface groups (activity, context, configuration,
parameters) enabling you to make finer distictions (alltough it's a
question whether you can utilize it or not). So, even your second approach
seems to me a very minimalistic one.
