Pinaki Poddar commented on OPENJPA-117:
---------------------------------------

> Adding listeners should generally either be done as an initialization step
Of course. The use case that prompted the request is the code that registers listeners do not initialize Persistence/EntityManagers. At least that is what I gathered from the users' input. Did not feel 'strongly' about the use case either which reflects in the 'minor' priority of the request. 
As an alternative, one may consider a listener mechanism attached to the BrokerFactory itself that will notify creation/closure of managed Brokers. Then a user code that does not explictly control Broker may get a hook during broker initialization/closure.

Exposing list of listeners does raise the concern about one user removing others listeners -- but isn't one of the prevailing themes of OpenJPA architecture thrieves upon the users having deep visibility  and customization of its myriad internal features?

> Currently TransactionListeners can be added/removed to a broker but the list of transaction listeners registered to a particular broker is not available. Such a collection can be made available in read-only mode so a caller can determine whether to add a new listener or not, or whether a particular listener is already registered.
