Provide alternatives to JGroups classes in public API methods, deprecate old methods. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBCACHE-1243 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1243 Project: JBoss Cache Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Clustering Reporter: Manik Surtani Assignee: Manik Surtani This would involve additional JBC classes to represent: 1) An Address 2) A MethodCall 3) A View as counterparts to their JGroups namesakes. The public API and SPI - such as BuddyLocator, ViewChangedEvent, InvocationContext and Cache/CacheSPI - should use JBC classes/interfaces rather than JGroups ones. Old methods to still be retained but deprecated for now, with a clear message that they will disappear in 3.0.0.
