Looking at JBCACHE-1023, and with reference to this, how would we deal with potentially injecting both a ChannelFactory as wel as a Channel? If the Channel is null, fall back to the ChannelFactory and use the CF to create a channel? And if the CF is null, create a new JChannel with cluster props (or default cluster props?) Would be nice if we could combine the injection of a Channel and a ChannelFactory in a single call. What about just injecting a CF? For JBCACHE-1023, people could write a CF impl to return their channel. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4041035#...
