A bit like: > > Foo f = cache.getAdvancedCache().asClass(Foo.class).get(key); 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 ?
