[jbosscache-dev] JBCACHE-928 (lifecycle state)

[Manik Surtani]

Brian,

What would the use case of getState() be?  Is this for use by the MC  
and other mechanisms to manage the cache via JMX?

I guess what I'm asking is, where does this need to reside?  In the  
Cache, CacheSPI or JMX interface?  And also, what statii are we  
looking for?  I have a simple boolean "started" at the moment, but  
this could change to an enum of {CREATED, STARTED, STOPPED,  
DESTROYED} ...

Cheers,
