In the PojoCache 1.4 release, I have used the data gravitation option during the getObject to gravitate the data (if there is any) for buddy replication. However, I am not quite happy with it for two reasons: 1. It is kind of ad-hoc, meaning future refactoring may mess up the logic. 2. It can be inefficient. PojoCache by nature can call getObject (or attach in 2.0 API) recursively for it object graph. This means potentially multiple times of distributed get (for data gravitation). Then this is also exacerbated by the new PojoCach 2.0 design where the real POJO storage happens under an internal region. Do you guys thin it will make more sense to delegate this to the user's code to do it? Or should PojoCache expose an additional API for user to do data gravitation, e.g., gravitateData(/JSESSIONID/sessionid); this will gravitate all the necessary data (including those in the internal space) over first.
