I don't see any reason for not having this, just the benefits.
Another approach would be to add another attribute ("name") under the
<exposeJmxStats> element, though I personally like Galder's approach more.
Actually, I like your idea more :)
Having a name in <exposeJmxStats> or similar jmx enabling tag probably
makes more sense than having a generic name. The problem about a generic
name is that then you have two names, name and cluster name and I could
see getting confusing for users, i.e., do I need to set a cache name for
a clustered cache? if so, what does it represent, cache name unique in
cluster or the cache name as it's known cluster wide...etc.
