Interceptors, Cache Loaders

[billbejeck]

Hi,

As a developer, is there ever any reason to work with classes in the TreeCache API like interceptors, cache loaders etc when working on developing a distributed cache? Or is it considered best practice to primarily work with TreeCache class ?

Thanks

I guess it depends on what you want to do: from an application developer's view, TreeCache and TreeCacheAop are the only classes he will most probably ever use, everything else is configured through XML.

We plan on extracting an interface 'JBossCache' from the 2 classes above and have app developers simply program against this interface.
