     * <ol>
     * <li><code>init()</code> is invoked after the instance has been

     * <li><code>destroy()</code> is invoked after all dependencies are

     * as well as final cleanup. If a method is not defined, it simply is not
     * called, so you can decide which one(s) you need. If you need even more
