They are not structural nodes neither (e.g. if you add something to them they will be considered for eviction). | Hi Mircea, Ok I need to brush up on my jboss cache terminology, so correct me if im wrong Structural Nodes are what you would call resident nodes??? So in this example "/evictiontest/LRU" would be a structural node. Implicitly created nodes are nodes which are created to make up the tree path to get to the data node so in this example "/a/b" would be implicit nodes. So in lay man terms, if a node in a region has a data item attached, the maxNodes counter goes up one, if not then the counter stays the same!!
