A component implementing the LifeCycleComponent interface supports a life-cycle. I.e. such a component may be instructed from the outside to run through several stages from getting started till being destroyed. The valid state changes are mainly as follows: "initialize" - "start" - "pause" - "resume" - "stop" - "destroy" For example: "initialize" - "start" - "pause" - "resume" - "pause" - "resume" - "stop" - "start" - "pause" - "resume" - "stop" - "destroy" The LifeCycleComponentHandle.LifeCycleAutomatonHandle is a component managing various LifeCycleComponents each identified by a dedicated handle. Operations on the LifeCycleComponent are invoked by this LifeCycleComponentHandle.LifeCycleAutomatonHandle with a handle identifying the according LifeCycleComponent.

The LifeCycleComponent contains the business-logic where as the LifeCycleComponentHandle.LifeCycleAutomatonHandle provides the frame for managing this business-logic. The LifeCycleComponent.LifeCycleAutomaton takes care of the correct life-cycle applied on a LifeCycleComponent.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static interface	LifeCycleComponent.LifeCycleAutomaton	A system implementing the LifeCycleComponent.LifeCycleAutomaton interface supports managing LifeCycleComponent instances and takes care that the life-cycle stages are invoked in the correct order by throwing according exceptions in case the life-cycle is invoked in the wrong order.
static interface	LifeCycleComponent.UncheckedLifeCycleComponent	Same as the LifeCycleComponent though without the need to try-catch any exceptions on the various life-cycle stages.
