People are expecting start caches with getCache(). It's been like that since 4.0 so what you're suggesting would be a bit change at this stage (5.0.0.CR8) IMO. Your suggestion would be worth considering for 6.x. agreed, as discussed with Dan we won't throw exceptions but log a warning to recommend people use the startCaches(). Dan I still think the #startCaches method should at least log a warning if it's invoked more than once: it's very useful to be aware of the ISPN-658 as early as possible in the application design, and this is a good chance for us to detect the unsupported usage pattern. I think these two warnings combined can save a lot of time and stress, and won't affect any body who is doing it correctly already.

+1 for Galder's fluent idea :) Cheers, Sanne _______________________________________________ infinispan-dev mailing list infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev
