[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Assigned: (ISPN-703) Add cache value to event objects

Add cache value to event objects -------------------------------- Key: ISPN-703 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-703 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Listeners Affects Versions: 4.2.0.ALPHA3 Reporter: Paul Ferraro Assignee: Mircea Markus Priority: Blocker Fix For: 4.2.0.BETA1 Attachments: patch.txt While implementing a @CacheEntryActivated event handler I encountered an issue where fetching the newly activated value from the cache triggers another activated event, which manifests itself as an infinite loop. The workaround for this was to retrieve a cache value directly from the DataContainer, rather than via the Cache API. This strikes me as a bit awkward and a potential gotcha for new users. It would be great if the cache value where available in the event itself, e.g. getValue(). This way users wouldn't have the same temptation to try to fetch the value from the cache, and potentially triggering undesired events.
