This doesn't sound right... DefaultCacheManager calls cache.start() automatically, so you should never have to call it explicitly.

Looking at the code, the listener should be registered even if the cache wasn't started yet (e.g. ListenerRegistrationTest never calls start()). The only odd thing is that if you stop a cache, all the listeners are lost. Maybe that's what happened in your case?


Nevermind. Our listeners are good, it was my mistake about start/stop and how stop wiped out listeners.

You could add an interceptor to trigger your events, without using the cache's notifications at all.

If you're ok with changing the core, you could add a getValue() method to CacheEntryCreatedEvent, and an isCreated() method to CacheEntryModifiedEvent (as I suppose you don't want to call the updates listener when an entry is created). Both changes should be backwards-compatible.

Ok, I like isCreated(), I found a JIRA where Manik was against this idea of changing CacheEntryCreatedEvent for unrelated but similar reason!

I guess @CacheEntryEvicted/@CacheEntriesEvicted would be the closest thing we have in Infinispan. But you can't check in the listener if the entry was evicted because it expired or because there wasn't enough space in the data container (yet).

Come to think of it, if an entry is evicted because of size constraints, there isn't any way to keep track of its expiration time and invoke the expiration listener on access either. Is the expiration event mandatory in the JSR?


Yes, but eventually have to notify not at time of expiration! RI for example simply checks on access and regular housekeeping if entry is expired.
