If it is a singleton I think its constructor is always called, and life cycle methods called if it is defined with activation="startup". For other LifeStyles, the Appliances for each component is created but the creation of components are deferred until they are requried. It is easy to forget that "A Component" can have many instances if the LifeStyle is not singleton, one per thread or even more.
