[jbosscache-dev] Really DUMB API method

[Vladimir Blagojevic]

Is defining interceptors within xml configuration file out of the
question?

If so, option 1) seems better to me. Maybe with clever object
abstractions adding even few interceptors would be not so hard.
Say you have InterceptorInjectionPoint that contains position (defined
in various way) and Interceptor itself or something like that....

Cheers.
