[jboss-user] [JBoss Cache: Core Edition] - How I store objects in the cache. Trivial-not trivial?

Hi. This is probably a stupid question, but what can I do? I have that stupid problem... suppose we have 2 classes: 1) package com.a; | class A{ | int x; | List<B> b; | | } 2) package com.a; | class B{ | | | | } In short A is parent for collection of B. A is also multiplied(collection) in DB. Consider I produce a node, that created to hold objects of type A: Node rootNode = cache.getRoot(); | Fqn testEntityFqn = Fqn.fromString("/com/a/A"); | Node testEntity = rootNode.addChild(testEntityFqn); I put then A objects in this node: testEntity.put(id, objectA); Fine. But I ask myself and YOU: 1. Why I've chosen to create separate node for collection of A? 2. Why not separate node for each A in collection? 3. Why not separate node for each A and separate node for each A primitive attribute(int x)? 4. When I need cache B(that under A), what is my considerations: should I create separate node for each B, or one node for collection of Bs? 5.Is there some guide line to HOW we store complex structures in the cache? 6. If object A changed and I have eviction enabled in cluster, is it explicitly invalidates also Bs, that under that A? If B changed, does it cause invalidation of A? In what case it may happen?
