public interface Disposable
Any type not being a mature component, which nevertheless can be destroyed,
implements this
Disposable
interface. This avoids the necessity to
depend on the refcodes-component artifact. In addition the semantic
distinction between a component in terms of refcodes-component and a plain
old java class or bean is clear.
ATTENTION: In case you intend to add support dispose()
functionality
to your mature components (in terms of refcodes-component), please implement
the org.refcodes.component.Component
interface with its
org.refcodes.component.Destroyable#destroy()
method.

dispose
void dispose()Disposes the implementing class's instance. Forces an object to be disposed. The programmer implementing this method has to take care that all objects are to be released which are referenced by the object implementing this interface and the GenericDisposeabelPublic interface. All references are to be set to a null pointer in order for the garbage collector to work more effectively. If this method has been called than the method isDisposed() in the interface GenericDisposeablePublic has to return true. If dispose() has been called, than ALL OTHER methods in the class implementing this interface and the corresponding interface GenericDisposeablePublic except the isDispoed() and the dispose() methods have to throw a DisposedPredictableException - the programmer implementing the interface has to take care of it.
