The documentation for Infinispan should mention that remote cache events and/or remote cache manager events handling (i.e. for HotRod client) are not currently supported. RemoteCacheManager can return objects that can be treated as implementations of Cache<K, V> and a user can then suppose these events/listeners work here as well.

It should be mentioned most likely here: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/ListenersAndNotifications
