[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-9627?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Dan Berindei commented on ISPN-9627: ------------------------------------ [~pferraro] I created the issue, but the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that listeners should be stopped **before** stopping the cache manager, or not at all. If one thread stops the cache manager and another tries to remove a listener, the only way to avoid throwing a {{IllegalLifecycleStateException}} from {{removeListener()}} would be to actually catch {{IllegalLifecycleStateException}}, and that seems too much like a hack. Allowing {{removeListener()}} after {{stop()}} might also give the user the impression that listeners are normally preserved across {{stop()}} and {{start()}}, which is not the case. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v7.12.1#712002)
