Re: CacheJmxWrapper, it should be OK. It doesn't do anything in create() that it can't do in start(). So, we can either: 1) Remove create() altogether from CacheJmxWrapper . 2) or leave it there but remove the call to Cache.create(). #1 seems illogical but has minor advantages. One of the things CacheJmxWrapper,create() does is instantiate the cache if one wasn't injected. Leaving that in a "create" step allows sophisticated users to get a ref to the cache via CacheJmxWrapper.getCache(), register listeners, etc, before start() is called.
