[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-1583) AbstractDelegatingAdvancedCache with(ClassLoader), withFlags(Flag...) logic is broken

AbstractDelegatingAdvancedCache with(ClassLoader), withFlags(Flag...) logic is broken ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-1583 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1583 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Bug Components: Core API Affects Versions: 5.1.0.BETA5 Reporter: Paul Ferraro Assignee: Galder Zamarreño Fix For: 5.2.0.CR1, 5.2.0.Final When the withFlags(...) logic was modified to use a DecoratedCache instead of thread-local storage, any caches already decorated with the AbstractDelegatingAdvancedCache(...) broke. Take the following code: AdvancedCache<K, V> baseCache; AdvancedCache<K, V> customCache = new AbstractDelegatingAdvancedCache<K, V>(baseCache) { public void clear() { // custom clear logic } }; customCache.withFlags(Flag.CACHE_MODE_LOCAL).clear(); In the above statement, the flag is not applied. The call to withFlags(...) returns a reference to customCache, and the reference to DecoratedCache containing the flags is lost to garbage collection. In the case of with(ClassLoader) we have the opposite problem. customCache.with(customClassLoader).clear(); In the above statement, the native clear() method is invoked instead of my custom clear() method. with(ClassLoader) returns a reference to DecoratedCache. The clear() method then operates on baseCache, instead of customCache.
