Method Detail

This method will block until the component is available. If the component fails to start then a runtime exception will be thrown.

The instance has been injected and post-construct has been called.

void destroyInstance(T instance)

Destroy an instance of the component. This method causes all uninjection and pre-destroy lifecycle invocations to occur.
