## Enum Obligation.Lifecycle

- Enclosing class:
    Obligation<P>

      public static enum Obligation.Lifecycle

  Represents where in its lifecycle a contract state is, which in turn controls the commands that can be applied to the state. Most states will not leave the NORMAL lifecycle. Note that settled (as an end lifecycle) is represented by absence of the state on transaction output.
