Ok, so for the sake of API changes, fr the next Alpha I propose we: 1. remove create() and destroy() on the public API. 2. CacheFactory creates the cache and calls create(). 3. stop() will call stop(), destroy() and create() in that order to reset the cache. and later we can optimise what happens internally in start() and stop(). WDYT? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4168714#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
