[ https://issues.redhat.com/browse/ISPN-7169?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Dan Berindei commented on ISPN-7169: ------------------------------------ [~william.burns] I would suggest instead adding a method {{CacheLoader.accessMode()}}, that would return {{SHARED}}, {{PRIVATE}}, or {{BOTH}}. The default implementation would return {{BOTH}}, but concrete implementations would be encouraged to return {{SHARED}} or {{PRIVATE}}. If the store's access mode and the {{shared}} attribute in configuration disagree, we would throw an exception on startup, but if {{shared}} is missing in the configuration then we can use the store's access mode instead of defaulting to {{shared=false}}. I'm pretty sure {{DummyInMemoryStore}} is the only store that can reasonably be used both as a private store and as a shared store, and if we eventually decide to remove {{BOTH}} it's really easy to add a {{shared}} attribute specific to {{DummyInMemoryStore}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v7.13.8#713008)
