Allow a type safe selection of the cache used by the JCache interceptors
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ISPN-1263
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1263
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: CDI integration
            Reporter: Kevin Pollet
            Assignee: Kevin Pollet
            Priority: Minor


Currently the name of the cache which will be used by the JCache interceptors has to be specified in JCache annotations (e.g {{@CacheResult(cacheName="greeting-cache"}}). 

This can be error prone (typo, refactoring ...). The CDI integration module provides the possibility to associate a qualifier to a cache. This qualifier could be re-used to provide a type safe selection of the cache used by a JCache interceptor. Something like:

{code}
public class GreetingService {

    @CacheResult @GreetingCache
    public String greet(String name) {
        return "Hello" + name;
    }
}
{code}

Here we need to be in sync with JCache specification. In my understanding of the spec the cache name is required for {{@CacheRemoveEntry}} and {{@CacheRemoveAll}} (but currently in the API there is a default value). For {{@CacheResult}} if no cache name is defined a default one is used.
