Does JBoss ESB Action has life cycle?

Does JBoss ESB Action has life cycle like Servlet does (init, service, destroy)?

I am writing dozens of ESB actions that requires the same initialization and destroy business logic. So I am thinking of putting this common init and destroy code in one parent class.

To answer my own question, the JBoss ESB Action does have life cycle but the cycle is executed only once during initialization and not per request as I would have expected it to be.
