Can't control (Tree)Cache via JConsole

[edgenuity]

I'm using JDK 1.6, and JBossCache 2.0.0 (BETA).
I create a TreeCache, run it, test it, with no problem.
I put a listener to track changes to the (Tree) cache.
I registered the cache with the MBeanServer. No problem.

I brought up JConsole and I see my test program.
I try to invoke the Start/Stop methods exposed via the JConsole, I get feedback on the success when I invoke them (press the button), but my listener never gets invoked.

Any ideas, where I can start? I need to able to control the cache remotely.

How are you registering the cache with the MBeanServer?

Excerpt from my code below.

mBeanServer = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.setClusterName("CacheTest");
config.setExposeManagementStatistics(true);
config.setCacheMode(Configuration.CacheMode.LOCAL);
myCache = DefaultCacheFactory.getInstance().createCache(config);
myCache.addCacheListener(myCacheListener);
mBeanNameStr = JmxUtil.PREFIX +
myCache.getConfiguration().getClusterName();
JmxUtil.registerCacheMBean(
mBeanServer, new CacheJmxWrapper(myCache), mBeanNameStr);
ObjectName mBeanName = new ObjectName(mBeanNameStr);
if (mBeanServer.isRegistered(mBeanName))
System.out.println ("MBean Registered:"+mBeanNameStr);
else
System.out.println ("MBean not registered");

You are hitting the issue discussed at http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1047. If you were using code built from the latest HEAD you could:

...
CacheJmxWrapper wrapper = new CacheJmxWrapper(myCache);
wrapper.setManageCacheLifecycle(true);
JmxUtil.registerCacheMBean(mBeanServer, wrapper, mBeanNameStr);
...

This thread though makes me realize that that's still pretty broken, although it should work fine for your use case. See http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1058 for how discussion of how it's still broken.
