[infinispan-dev] Adding isRunning() to Lifecycle?

[Sanne Grinovero]

Hello,
what would you think of adding an isRunning() method to Lifecycle interface?

public interface Lifecycle {
   void start();
   void stop();
   boolean isRunning();  <-- not existing
}

?
I would use it to throw easy to understand errors, like when trying to
use a cache which was shutdown.
I'm doing it already but code isn't nice and repeated in some places.
