[jbosscache-dev] Serialization and binding to JNDI

[Brian Stansberry]

JBCACHE-1514 is not an issue for the AS. As Galder described, the 
CacheManager is bound in JNDI, and only in the java: namespace. The 
NonSerializableFactory is just a javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory that 
uses a static map to cache objects. It will only return objects to 
callers inside the same VM.
