The thing is, org.jboss.ha.cachemanager.CacheManager is not Serializable 
and hence, Brian has used a different method that involves binding 
CacheManager to the NonSerializableFactory and then binding a JNDI a 
Serializable reference (javax.naming.Reference) that seems to point to 
the non serializable cache manager.

I don't know much about the method other than I was able to read from 
the code but just in case, here's the CacheManager class file:

http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/cluster/ha-server-cache-jbc/trunk/src/main/java/org/jboss/ha/cachemanager/CacheManager.java

So, to sum up, I can't say whether 1514 affects AS or not.
