Lifecycle methods use case?

[amalrajvinoth]

Dear All,

Please help me know tha following:

1. cacheManager.start() & Stop(); usage?
2. consider, if cacheManager is stopped and started again, will it have the older references
3. how many time can we call  the start() or stop() method on cachemanger?

thanks.

amal.

After you call stop() the cache manager is no longer usable, and you cannot revive it with start(). It is there only to provide deterministic resource cleanup, because you cannot rely on finalization for that.

The DefaultCacheManager javadoc has some use cases.

then method name is misleading, is it correct?

I wouldn't call it misleading, java.lang.Thread also has start() and stop() methods and you can't restart it either.
