PojoCache 2.2.0.CR5+ supports array interception. Task here is to uncomment the section in jbossweb-cluster.aop/META-INF/jboss-aop.xml that enables it and add a couple tweaks to the FIELD test cases so it gets exercised.

This can't be done until aop moves to 2.0.0.CR14.

Array interception means invoking the changeIt(...) method in a web session pojo would result in the change being detected and just one String being replicated:

public class Pojo {

private String[] array = new String[1000];

public void changeIt(int index, String newValue)

{ this.array[index] = newValue; }

}

Before this PojoCache improvement, PC wouldn't detect the array element change, so the changeIt(...) method would have had to reassign the 'array' field:

public class Pojo {

private String[] array = new String[1000];

public void changeIt(int index, String newValue)

{ String[] array1 = array; array1[index] = newValue; // Do a new field assignment so PojoCache knows something changed this.array = array1; }

}

Besides being odd looking and easy to forget to do, that code would result in the whole array being replicated rather than just one String.
