[jbosscache-dev] Re: [javagroups-users] Considering migrating to jboss cache from DistributedTree

[Manik Surtani]

Bill,

Fair comment, especially around requiring to use the channel for your  
own purposes.

In terms of approach though, I'd rather this channel be injected via  
the RuntimeConfig rather than being passed in through the factory as  
this is where other services (e.g., TransactionManagers) get injected  
by IOC frameworks.

So what you'd do is something like:

cache = DefaultCacheFactory.createCache(config, false);
cache.getConfiguration().getRuntimeConfiguration().setChannel 
(myChannel);
cache.start();

Does this make sense?

Cheers,
Manik
