One way to do this - and this would involve extending or modifying the MC - is to replace whatever backing container the MC uses to store beans it creates (probably a Map) with an Infinispan Cache. This should be trivial since org.infinispan.Cache extends java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap. Maybe alesj can comment more on whether this is something viable from a MC standpoint.
