I believe I initially got the definition of a Node incorrect. I had thought that a Node was a cache Element, but instead I learned that its a Map of cache Elements. What I am looking for is an eviction policy that expires individual elements in the cache, rather than the entire node. Does JBoss offer this out of the box, or is it limited to the Node level?
