Listening for new cachings getting created?

Question

I'd like to be able to register my own MBeans on each distributed CacheServer for each cache that lives on that server. Is it possible to register a listener anywhere that gets called when a new cache gets created? Alternatively, is it possible to register a listener that is called after the cache factory has finished starting all the "autostart" caches?
I'm using version 3.3
thanks

ps - I'm already registering my own custom global mbeans... but they are created before any of the caches get created.

You can specify your custom CacheFactory class in the override file so you can still use DefaultCacheServer
When I needed to intercept cache creation I extended DefaultConfigurableCacheFactory and overrode this method:
public NamedCache configureCache(CacheInfo cacheInfo, XmlElement xmlScheme, ClassLoader classLoader)
Then just call the super class version before or after doing whatever you need to.
The XML for the override file looks like this
<coherence>
     <configurable-cache-factory-config>
          <class-name>com.oracle.coherence.common.configuration.AdvancedConfigurableCacheFactory</class-name>
          <init-params>
               <init-param>
                      <param-type>java.lang.String</param-type>
                      <param-value system-property="tangosol.coherence.cacheconfig">coherence-cache-config.xml</param-value>
               </init-param>
          </init-params>
     </configurable-cache-factory-config>
</coherence>The above snippet is taken from the Incubator common library. You would replace com.oracle.coherence.common.configuration.AdvancedConfigurableCacheFactory with the name of your class.
You need to call the override file tangosol-coherence-override.xml and put it on the class path or if you call it anything else then specify the name as a JVM argument with -Dtangosol.coherence.override=<name of your file>
