I was kinda discussing this with larry last night. Maybe we could have a typed cache that allows identity to be defined based on object properties. So, only a certain type of object could be placed into that cache and anything that is placed into the cache would need to conform to the particular type. Perhaps a list could be decomposed to examine it's contents.
For example: <cacheModel type="IDENTITY" id="myIdCache"> <property name="type" value="myPersonObject" <property name="identity-properties" value="firstName,lastName"> <flushOnExecute id="insert"/> <flushOnExecute id="update"/> <flushOnExecute id="delete"/> </cacheModel> - the type property would specify the type of object that cache would hold - the identity-properties would be the combination of property values that gave the object it's unique identity (getters/setters). - when the flushOnExecute happens the parameter class must also be of the same type as those stored in the cache and it could selectively update/remove cache items based on the criteria. I know this is a REALLY rough idea. But, if it fuels other ideas that would be great.
