[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-2297) Cache restart doesn't work properly

Cache restart doesn't work properly ----------------------------------- Key: ISPN-2297 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-2297 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Bug Components: Core API Affects Versions: 5.1.7.Final, 5.2.0.Alpha3 Reporter: Dan Berindei Assignee: Mircea Markus Fix For: 5.2.0.Alpha4 Cache restart has at least two issues: 1. If a cache is stopped via {{Cache.stop()}} it will still be returned by {{DefaultCacheManager.getCache()}}. Cache {{start()}} and {{stop()}} are not synchronized in any way, so a {{start()}} call may return before the cache was properly started - just because another thread is in the process of starting it. 2. {{ComponentRegistry}} keeps a few components as fields to speed up access. These components are destroyed on {{stop()}} and re-created on {{start()}}, because they are volatile, but the field references are not updated. Also, the documentation of {{EmbeddedCacheManager.getCache()}} should say that it will start the cache only if it doesn't exist yet - if the cache is stopped it will return the cache as it was. Alternatively we could change the behaviour of {{getCache()}} to always start the cache.
