The Configuration object will just expose: | public BuddyReplicationConfig getBuddyReplicationConfig() | public void setBuddyReplicationConfig(BuddyReplicationConfig config) | public CacheLoaderConfig getCacheLoaderConfig() | public void setCacheLoaderConfig(CacheLoaderConfig config) | public EvictionConfig getEvictionConfig() | public void setEvictionConfig(EvictionConfig config) | The task of interpreting the legacy element names in XML will be handled by XmlConfigurationParser.
