| * <p> |
| * Components implementing this interface will always be initialized when the service manager that |
| * holds them is created, even if lazy-loading of components is enabled. |
| * <p> |
| * Note that there are also other ways to require a component to be loaded at startup: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>by implementing the <code>Startable</code> Avalon interface, which defines two additional |
| * <code>start()</code> and <code>stop()</code> methods</li> |
| * <li>by adding the <code>preload="true"</code> attribute on a component's configuration</li> |
| * </ul> |
