Apologies for the code being hard to follow.  :-)  Optimistic locking is a 
pretty heavily patched and "organically grown" feature.  In 2.0.0 this has been 
sufficiently cleaned up (JBCACHE-942)

Regarding overriding the data version type, this feature is for very specific 
use cases and should only be used if you really know what you are doing with 
the versioning.  For example, one good use case is where an external entity 
maintains versioning info (such as a database).  Using timestamps on a file 
system is valid provided:

1)  Your unit of measurement is sufficiently fine-grained that you won't have 
colliding version numbers
2)  If this is replicated, your cluster nodes have reliable enough a clock 
synchronisation mechanism.

Do actually use your own data version, use the Option API to set a data version 
for each call (e.g., using overloaded methods on TreeCache that take in an 
Option object).

Note that the mechanism for doing this in 2.0.0 is different - see the 2.0.0 
user guide for details on doing this in 2.0.0.
