[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBossCache] - Re: JBCACHE-1004 and JBCACHE-1005

[manik.surtani@jboss.com]

Declaring a cache as containing <Object, Object> or even leaving it untyped will be, at worst, what we had before - a generic object cache containing anything at all.

This just gives users flexibility if they do have a homogenous cache, or even a "partly-homogenous" one (for example, where key types are fixed to Strings but values can be anything) or where you want to restrict value types (e.g., Serializable)

Moving forward, once we break down the cache into discrete regions (JBCACHE-64) with their own configurations, we could specify types on a per-region basis.
