13   * Objects that have an associated lifecycle manager such as {@link Service} or
14   * {@link Connector} should implement this interface so that the registry lifecycle
15   * manager can introspect the lifecycle state of an object. This allows objects to
16   * have a different lifecycle state to the registry. Typically objects that have
17   * their own lifecycle manager can be controlled externally through JMX which means
18   * there is no guarantee that the state of the object is in the same lifecycle state
19   * of the registry, hence the need to introspect the lifecycle state of an object.
