[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBossCache] - markNodeCurrentlyInUse() - race condition

[genman]

It seems to me that Region#markNodeCurrentlyInUse() does not really do what it is supposed to do.

Basically, it adds an event to the queue. And what can happen is that 4 seconds later (say, if event queue processing is every 4 seconds), is that the node can disappear after this method is called.

Doesn't this make this method fairly useless?

Shouldn't there just be a method on a Node to prevent eviction?
