[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-450?page=comments#action_12340065 ] Ben Wang commented on JBCACHE-450: ---------------------------------- For case #3 above regarding to object identity, actually we can't serialize PojoInstance becuse otherwise, we will serializae the actual POJO reference (and therefore the whole POJO!). This would defeat the whole purpose of PojoCache. So looks like we will have to accept the discrepancy there unless we have a lookup table that matches pojo instance to id. But again this will be strongly referenced and pojo instance will never gc-ed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
