Yep. For sessions I need the locking and delta-replication functionality 
Manik described, but there's no need to associate k,v pairs across sessions.

It's possible the Infinispan replacement for POJO Cache may need 
something in this area though. Multiple objects with references to 
another object is an example of a sort of dynamic group. POJO Caches 
handles this by storing the Fqn of the referent object in the map for 
the referring object.
