This solves a problem with classloading, as Infinispan will know exactly what classloader to use for a cache manager and any deserialized cached objects, events etc.

However, it does require support for asymmetric clusters.

Open issues are:

• how do we handle EARs
• how do we handle shared 2nd level caches
• needs support for asymmetric clusters
• needs to mux JGroups channels
• needs consideration of how to handle shared thread pools
