Correct. CacheImpl.gravitateData() uses findNode() to look for the data; doesn't go through the interceptors. If the call is to go through the interceptors, and auto-gravitation is turned on, there needs to be a mechanism to suppress gravitation for the call. We have the Option to force gravitation, but not the opposite. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4091073#...
