Using EventAware cache implementation breaks persistent cache restore on restart
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: COCOON-2146
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2146
             Project: Cocoon
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Blocks: Event Cache
    Affects Versions: 2.1.10, 2.1.11-dev (Current SVN)
            Reporter: Ellis Pritchard


In revision 412307 (Cocoon 2.1.10), AbstractDoubleMapEventRegistry and 
EventRegistryDataWrapper were changed (without an informative SVN comment!) to 
use the commons MultiValueMap instead of the MultiHashMap; I presume this was 
done in good faith because the latter map is deprecated and will be removed 
from Apache commons-collections 4.0

However, as a result, the persistent cache cannot be restored if the EventAware 
cache implementation is used, since MultiValueMap is not Serializable! The old 
MultiHashMap was...

Depending on whether StoreEventRegistryImpl or DefaultEventRegistryImpl is 
used, either the event cache index is never written (ehcache doesn't store 
non-serializable objects on disk), or a java.io.NotSerializableException is 
thrown (and caught, causing a full cache-clear) when attempting to restore the 
event cache index.

This is Major for us, since we use Event-based caching alot, and this is 
causing the *entire* cache to no-longer persist across restarts (it's been like 
that for 8 months, since I upgraded Cocoon to 2.1.10 in the last week I was 
working here, and now I'm back, they've actually noticed!!)

Work-around at the moment is to down-grade AbstractDoubleMapEventRegistry and 
EventRegistryDataWrapper to the 2.1.9 versions (pre-412307), which works so 
long as Apache-commons 3.x is still in use.
