InstanceNotFoundException: jboss.system:service=ServiceContr

[augustientje]

I'm trying to use JbossCache (1.4.0) outside Jboss AS as a local cache.

The code fragment I'm trying to get to work is very simple:

TreeCache treeCache = new TreeCache();
// ... configure

treeCache.create();
treeCache.start();

// ... do something with cache

treeCache.stop();
treeCache.destroy();

This throws an InstanceNotFoundException with the message "jboss.system:service=ServiceController".

As an alternative, I tried using the createService/startService and stopService/destroyService methods instead, but this throws the same exception (although this time it doesn't reach my application since it's eaten in TreeCache.postDeregister).

What could be the cause of this?

This is a bug; I'll file a JIRA tomorrow. The correct thing to do is to use createService(), startService(), etc. But the WARN that gets logged in postRegister() is a bug. Fairly harmless though; only harm is the spurious WARN. The method actually does what it needs to.

A workaround, if you don't care about the cache and its interceptors being visible in JMX, is to configure the cache with property UseInterceptorMBeans set to false.
