As Infinispan does only support a fixed number of Commands and I cannot (and don't want to) add a new command as I am in a different module, I hacked the PutKeyValue: on special key values, my interceptors know that they should handle it. This way, PutKeyValue is not a put per se, but a way to facilitate RPC and an ugly hack :) What "command" is this, what do you need to be able to broadcast? > I was thinking that a GenericCommand that would contain a Map of parameters would be handy for this scenario. Also a method on the visitor, visitGenericCommand. This would allow integration projects (like cq) to be done nicely. If this sounds appealing I can detail.. -1. This sounds like it opens a huge can of worms, making things hard to maintain and open to abuse. Commands should be very specific and properly typed.
