Here is the SPI that CDI has for this purpose:
http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/enterprise/inject/spi/Injection...
I would suggest modelling after it, as it's proved successful, and will make CDI
integration easy. (BTW I don't mean use it directly, I mean copy and paste it into
infinispan code). Furthermore, what I would suggest you do is support the decorator
pattern here, by creating one of these internally, and then allowing it to be got hold of
by an extension, wrapped, and handed back to you. This makes it trivial for the extension
to override the bits it wants. We also need to consider whether we want to allow
overriding the construction and destruction of the object, as I guess by default you
serialise/deserialize these? Might be useful to allow overriding anyway, in a fully
stateless model (where changes are written back to the cache).
