To support annotation (in order to simplify user's development effort), the JBoss Cache distribution ships with a pojocache-aop.xml under the resources directory. For reference, here is annotation definition from pojocache-aop.xml again :

<aop>
   <prepare expr="field(*@org.jboss.cache.pojo.annotation.Replicable->*)"/>
</aop>
            

Basically, it simply states that any annotation with both marker interfaces will be "aspectized" accordingly.

Here is a code snippet that illustrate the declaration:

@org.jboss.cache.pojo.annotation.Replicable public class
Person {...}
