/**
* This annotation should be used on methods that need to be notified when a cache entry is invalidated.
* <p/>
* Methods annotated with this annotation should be public and take in a single parameter, a {@link
* org.infinispan.notifications.cachelistener.event.CacheEntryInvalidatedEvent} otherwise an {@link
* org.infinispan.notifications.IncorrectListenerException} will be thrown when registering your cache listener.
* <p/>
* Locking: notification is performed WITH locks on the given key.
* <p>
* Any exceptions thrown by the listener will abort the call. Any other listeners not yet called will not be called,
* and any transactions in progress will be rolled back.
