Just to remind everyone about a previous discussion related to ISPN-658 and 2LC use case which has an impact on this. Even though currently entities are stored in caches named using the entity name (or region name if configured), a few months back we decided that we''d move to store all entities under the same cache. However, I'm not sure this will end up happening if we can finally get a proper workaround for ISPN-658 in place, i.e. https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1324 > > Using a rich key containing also the PU and application name seems the > best option to me, and I wouldn't worry too much about the additional > payload as that needs to be transferred anyway: I don't see how the > receiving side could route the command to the proper application > otherwise. With my previous comment in mind, Sanne's suggestion here looks fine. It's about building the cache region names, which currently become actual cache names, correclly, taking the PU and app name into account. If if the future we end up putting all entities under the same cache, the region name will become the key in the cache, as opposed to the cache name. > > I think it would be nice - if possible - to not change the > regionfactory contract but in some way wrap the keys normally > produced, to keep it simple and avoid the payload for those cases it's > not deployed in AS7. > > Sanne > > > 2011/8/16 Scott Marlow <smar...@redhat.com>: >> I'm looking at o.h.c.i.InfinispanRegionFactory and wondering how best to >> configure the 2lc for AS 7.1.
