Re: Startable doesn't has a isRunning() interface ?

But that way you're putting a risk that the container might be out of 
sync with the real state of the component. All that to save having an 
extra function. I would think the downsides are bigger than the cost of 
having an extra function to check the state of the component. Otherwise 
most people will implement that function but it won't be standard, 
reducing potential reusability, and causing pains to people who want to 
incorporate dynamic administration capabilities in the container.

Yes.  An isRunning() method would not be useful to the container.  The
container knows whether the startable isRunning or not (ie: it has called
start() and not stop() ).

Is there any reason Startable doesn't has a isRunning() ( or something
like that ) interface ?
