Description

Interface Summary

Callable	Callable is used to provide a Service with an interface that supports event calls.
Disposable	Disposable is a lifecycle interface that gets called at the dispose lifecycle stage of the implementing service as the service is being destroyed.
EventListener	EventListener is a marker interface that is implemented by objects wishing to receive Mule events in managed environments, such as an EJB container.
Initialisable	Initialisable is a lifecycle interface that gets called at the initialise lifecycle stage of the implementing service.
InitialisationCallback	InitialisationCallback is used to provide customised initialiation for more complex components.
Lifecycle	DefaultLifecyclePhase adds lifecycle methods start, stop and dispose.
LifecycleManager	The LifecycleManager is responsible for managing the different lifecycle phases of the server and managing the transitions between lifecycle phases.
LifecyclePair	A coupling of two opposite LifecyclePhase instances such as initialise and dispose or start and stop Mule treats lifecycle in pairs in order to return system state to a level consistency when an opposite lifecycle method is called.
LifecyclePhase	Encapsulates the notion of a lifecycle phase i.e.
LifecycleState	A safe facade for lifecycle manager that objects can use to monitor its own state
Startable	Startable provides an object with a Startable.start() method which gets called when the Mule instance gets started.
Stoppable	Stoppable is a lifecycle interfaqce that introduces a Stoppable.stop() method to an object.

Class Summary

LifecycleTransitionResult

Restrict possible results - only OK or a retry based on some throwable are currently allowed.

Exception Summary

CreateException	CreateException is thrown when creating an object inside Mule wasn't possible due to inconsistent internal state or wrong input.
DisposeException	DisposeException TODO (document class)
FatalException	FatalException can be thrown during initialisation or during execution to indicate that something fatal has occurred and the MuleManager must shutdown.
InitialisationException	InitialisationException is thrown by the initialise method defined in the org.mule.api.lifecycle.Initialisable interface.
LifecycleException	LifecycleException TODO
RecoverableException	RecoverableException can be thrown during initialisation to indicate that the error occurred is not fatal and a reactive action can be performed to try and remedy the error.
StartException	DisposeException TODO (document class)
StopException	DisposeException TODO (document class)
