Description

In order to keep object agnostic of container, please add attributes to the BuilderFactory contruct element that support the standard lifecycle management of Hivemind. This request is for the destroy step in the life cycle of a service. This attribute could be used instead of RegistryShutdownListener and Discardable.

The following is a specification should be a reasonable start.

add a destroy-method attribute to the construct element recognized by BuilderFactory

When the destroy-method is specified, the method must be a public void method taking no parameters. This method is called when the registry is shutdown for primitive, singleton, and pooled services. This method is
called when the thread is cleaned up for a threaded service. When autowire-service is enabled and destroy-method is not specified, BuilderFactory will introspect for a method called destroyService() and
treat it as a destroy-method. In the case of singleton and pooled services, if the service implements the RegistryShutdownListener, the destroy-method is called before the RegistryShutdownListener.registryDidShutdown() method. In the case of threaded services, if the service implements the Discardable interface, the destroy-method is called before the
Discardable.threadDidDiscardService() method.
