Lifecycle information is not normally stored in the registry. That's contrary to the model. In most cases, the EPR is only valid for the life of the service, which means if the service goes "down" then when it comes "up" again it'll register itself using another EPR. You should probably not store configurations associated with EPRs anyway, since they can change even for the same service. The best thing to use would be the logical service name.
