Tristan Tarrant commented on ISPN-4919:
---------------------------------------
I agree with [~isavin]. The <local-cache-template/> is ambiguous: it's declaring
a template AND the caches which instantiate it. However I do like the shorthand
multi-cache declaration. And we do want template inheritance.
{code}
<local-cache-template name="eviction-template"
extends="some-other-template">
<eviction strategy="LIRS" max-entries="10000"/>
</local-cache-template>
<local-cache template="eviction-template" name="foo">
<!-- overrides -->
</local-cache>
<local-caches template="eviction-template" names="mycache ..."
/>
{code}
Configuration templates

Key: ISPN-4919
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-4919
Project: Infinispan
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Configuration
Reporter: Tristan Tarrant
Assignee: Tristan Tarrant
Fix For: 7.1.0.Alpha1
Currently there is a 1:1 relationship between configuration and named caches. While the
programmatic API does have the ability to .read() an existing configuration to create a
new one, the declarative config does not.
We should introduce the concept of configuration inheritance, e.g.:
<local-cache name="eviction-cache">
<eviction strategy="LIRS" maxEntries="10000"/>
</local-cache>
<local-cache name="mycache" template="eviction-cache" />
Possibly, cache templates should be made "abstract" so that they cannot be
instantiated as named caches directly, e.g.:
<local-cache name="eviction-cache" abstract="true">
...
</local-cache>
