Life Cycle States Within the JBI Framework

JBI components, service assemblies, and service units, each have life cycle states that are controlled by JBI administrative tools. The lifecycle states of service units are managed indirectly through the service assembly. These lifecycles can include Installed, Stopped, Started, Shutdown, Deploy, and so forth.

The JBI Runtime server persists the life cycle states of JBI Components. When the application server shuts down and then restarts, JBI Components revert to their state at the time the application server shut down.

The JBI runtime attempts to revert to the “desired” state of a JBI component. For example, suppose you tried to start a JBI component but it did not start due to an error in the component. If you restart the Application Server, the JBI runtime attempts to start the component again.
