It seems upon redeploying a new classloader is used so it is again not the same as the one used by the cache.

Since the cache holds a reference to the object you ask it to store, and since that reference is tied to a class, then the lifespan of the class has to last as long as the cache entry exists. So in other words, if you are going to put stuff in the cache that outlives your deployments, then you need to move those custom types to a deployment that lasts as long as your cache entry. A separate jar file would do.

Also you might want to stay away from UseJBossWebLoader=true, especially if you are using jsps (since classname conflicts are high).
