Idea of using attribute is very good but it won't work as is. If you look at jbosscache-aop.xml, you will see that the now @InstanceOfPojoCacheable tag is used inside the JBoss Aop prepare statement:

  |    <prepare expr="field(!static * $instanceof{@org.jboss.cache.pojo.annotation.InstanceOfPojoCacheable}->*)" />
  | 

So replace that with a generic annotation with additional attribute won't work.

"sub-class" in better than InstanceOf (I am following the JBoss Aop usage, as you can see here), but SubClassOfReplicable, e.g., seems wordy?
