RE: [jbosscache-dev] Some new Cache usage questions
1. I suspect people using JBC for session management purpose won't store the Node ref
but the Cache instead. Brian can say better but for example of the http session, unless
you store the root Node, otherwise caching the children Node is not that useful.
2. ic. Do we have explicit contract for Cache to be "root" Node only? I mean,
even getRoot() is just a self pointer, it still serves the purpose, IMO.

Not in your case, no. But many other use cases will be able to cache a node and use it
directly.
I too would rather keep the API clean in this regard. Also, calling
cache.getRoot() is redundant since the Cache interface is a wrapper around the root Node.
In fact, I even think we should get rid of the
getRoot() method.

My 2 cents: I'd rather keep the API clean, at the expense of folks
potentially writing wrapping code (like Ben).
Your code samples look a bit weird:
#1
Why do you always get the child ? Can't you get the node and cache it,
e.g.
Node n=cache.getRoot().getChild(fqn);
n.containsKey(PojoInstance.KEY)
#2
Same as for #1: you don't need to call cache.getRoot().getChild
(fqn) all the time, for example in a loop, simply cache it
