Brian Stansberry commented on JBCACHE-1268:
-------------------------------------------

That's exactly what I'm proposing.  There have been a number of times in AS work where I've thought about this kind of thing; web session replication and EBJ3 SFSBs for example already have background threads running that do various sorts of cleanup work (including, in the web session case, a form of eviction).  What the JBC eviction thread does is really trivial and only involves the normal user API.  Letting the existing background threads do this work removes one possible source of complication.

> The eviction thread is just a convenience; it doesn't do anything that a thread managed by the application couldn't do.  But, right now if you want to configure eviction you can't turn this thread off.  We should support disabling the eviction thread by setting wakeupIntervalSeconds to 0.
