> The java.util.Collections utility class supplies useful methods for dealing with legacy interfaces and wrapping collection classes for concurrency, type safety, read-only, etc.
> In a simiilar vein, I wrote a "Caches" class that returns java.util.Map instances for a Node, which allow data to be modified through the standard Map interface.
> This I expect to be extremely useful for allowing uses to integrate their existing application with JBoss Cache, and will eliminate some of the confusion of using a new API and they can use the API they know best. Users also often demand an API which is "generic" so that their code is not tied to a particular vendor.
> There are basically two methods in Caches, one looks like this:
> Cache cache = DefaultCacheFactory.getInstance().createCache();
> Map m = Caches.asMap(cache);
> m.put("foo", "bar");
> The API and examples explain themselves.
> "Caches" could also include other useful methods for printing or reporting.
> Note that this functionality could be considered duplicated from PojoCache...)
