Re: [jbosscache-dev] Ease of extension of Cache and Node

If I understood it correctly, what you need is a default cache(node) delegate: a class that extends Cache interface, wraps a Cache instance and delegate all calls to it. Whenever you want to extend it, all you would have to do is only override the methods you're interested in, so that if new methods are added your code will still be compilable. Am I right?
