[jbosscache-dev] [JBCACHE-1342] Lack of lifecycle methods in CacheLoaderConfig classes

Hi all, Re: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1342 I've converted JDBCCacheLoaderConfig into a JavaBean class, however I have some lifecycle issues now. setProperties() method within it, as well as setting individual fields, also creates composite fields such as: insertNodeSql, selectChildNamesSql...etc If we want to create JDBCCacheLoaderConfig beans via individual properties, rather than the setProperties() method we need some kind of create step where we know that properties have already been set, and we can use the create step to create the sql queries. The bigger problem I suppose is that from what I can see setProperties() is only really called after parsing the XML configuration, but this does not happen for AS, as the configuration is parsed by the MC. I can see quite a few bugs arising from this area, iow untested configurations. In fact, I just came across another one: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1346 The JBossCache wikis are not available at the moment and I'm not sure whether lifecycle annotations are explained somewhere else, so that we can integrate the cache loader configurations into the cache lifecycle.
