doesn't look much better than a cast, but is more cryptical :)

getting back to the classloader issue, what about:

Cache c = cacheManager.getCache( cacheName, classLoader );

or
Cache c = cacheManager.getCache( cacheName ).usingClassLoader(classLoader );

BTW if that's an issue on the API, maybe you should propose it to
JSR-107 as well ?
