This is not a right assumption. For example, we don't foresee supporting asymmetric
clusters in the short term as discussed in London, so this will require all 2LC entities
to be stored in the same cache, and these entities could easily belong to a different
classloaders.
I thought Hibernate has some other problems with storing entities in
the cache so it stores individual field values instead? If true, then
the cache would only store Hibernate classes.
Anyway, we already support the multiple classloaders scenario today by
using the TCCL, so I agree that it would be a bad idea to require a
single class loader per cache from now on.
