/**
* Common interface for component life cycle methods. Catalina components
* may implement this interface (as well as the appropriate interface(s) for
* the functionality they support) in order to provide a consistent mechanism
* to start and stop the component.
* <br>
* The valid state transitions for components that support {@link Lifecycle}
* are:
* <pre>
* start()
* -----------------------------
* | |
* | init() |
* NEW ->-- INITIALIZING |
* | | | | ------------------<-----------------------
* | | |auto | | |
* | | \|/ start() \|/ \|/ auto auto stop() |
* | | INITIALIZED -->-- STARTING_PREP -->- STARTING -->- STARTED -->--- |
* | | | | |
* | |destroy()| | |
* | -->-----<-- ------------------------<-------------------------------- ^
* | | | |
* | | \|/ auto auto start() |
* | | STOPPING_PREP ---->---- STOPPING ------>----- STOPPED ----->-----
* | \|/ ^ | ^
* | | stop() | | |
* | | -------------------------- | |
* | | | | |
* | | | destroy() destroy() | |
* | | FAILED ---->------ DESTROYING ---<----------------- |
* | | ^ | |
* | | destroy() | |auto |
* | -------->----------------- \|/ |
* | DESTROYED |
* | |
* | stop() |
* --->------------------------------>------------------------------
*
* Any state can transition to FAILED.
*
* Calling start() while a component is in states STARTING_PREP, STARTING or
* STARTED has no effect.
*
* Calling start() while a component is in state NEW will cause init() to be
* called immediately after the start() method is entered.
*
* Calling stop() while a component is in states STOPPING_PREP, STOPPING or
* STOPPED has no effect.
*
* Calling stop() while a component is in state NEW transitions the component
* to STOPPED. This is typically encountered when a component fails to start and
* does not start all its sub-components. When the component is stopped, it will
* try to stop all sub-components - even those it didn't start.
*
* Attempting any other transition will throw {@link LifecycleException}.
*
* </pre>
* The {@link LifecycleEvent}s fired during state changes are defined in the
* methods that trigger the changed. No {@link LifecycleEvent}s are fired if the
* attempted transition is not valid.
