Okay so I've gone through the examples and they contain nothing useful for the use case that I'm trying to build. I don't want to use aopc - EVER. How do I configure JBossCache to take POJOs in a regular application where I have created a cache without having to tie my build process to JBossCache? This documentation does not talk about adding objects at runtime to a cache: http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbosscache/freezone/doc... I've seen references to PropertyConfigurator not needing to be defined as it will take defaults. What are the defaults? If I'm annotating a POJO, what else do I need to do to get it into the cache? The examples do not specify this without immediately falling into a variety of PropertyConfigurator information. If PropertyConfigurator setup required in order for us to get this stuff to use annotated POJOs? | package org.jboss.labs.jbosscache.model; | | | @org.jboss.cache.aop.annotation.PojoCacheable | public class Person | { | private String firstName; | private String lastName; | private Address address; | | public String getFirstName() | { | return firstName; | } | | public void setFirstName(String firstName) | { | this.firstName = firstName; | } | | public String getLastName() | { | return lastName; | } | | public void setLastName(String lastName) | { | this.lastName = lastName; | } | | public Address getAddress() | { | return address; | } | | public void setAddress(Address address) | { | this.address = address; | } | } | If its not as simple as putting this annotation there and running my application, why isn't it this simple or for that matter - why do I have to EVER annotate my POJOs at all? Is there no approach where we can: 1) Not use a custom classloader 2) Have JBC annotate an entire object without having to go through the codebase and add annotations to everything (JBC can add/detect this annotation at runtime) 3) Not use aopc At the very least we shouldn't have to annotate the pojo. If you get a pojo and you can't treat it in an AOP manner wouldn't it be better to fallback to treecache as opposed to exploding with the fury of a stracktrace?
