[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-1263) Type safe selection of cache used by the JCache interceptors

Type safe selection of cache used by the JCache interceptors ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: ISPN-1263 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1263 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Components: CDI integration Reporter: Kevin Pollet Assignee: Kevin Pollet Priority: Minor Fix For: 6.0.0.Final Currently the name of the cache which will be used by the JCache interceptors has to be specified in JCache annotations (e.g. {{@CacheResult(cacheName="greeting-cache"}})). This can be error prone (typo, refactoring ...). The CDI integration module provides the possibility to associate a qualifier to a cache. This qualifier could be re-used to provide a type safe selection of the cache used by a JCache interceptor. Something like: {code} public class GreetingService { @CacheResult @GreetingCache public String greet(String name) { return "Hello" + name; } } {code} Here we need to be in sync with JCache specification. In my understanding of the spec the cache name is required for {{@CacheRemoveEntry}} and {{@CacheRemoveAll}} (but currently in the API there is a default value initialized to blank). For {{@CacheResult}} if no cache name is defined a default one is used.
