The org.jboss.cache.config.Configuration class (along with its component parts ) is a Java Bean that encapsulates the configuration of the Cache and all of its architectural elements (cache loaders, evictions policies, etc.)

The Configuration exposes numerous properties which are summarized in the configuration reference section of this book and many of which are discussed in later chapters. Any time you see a configuration option discussed in this book, you can assume that the Configuration class or one of its component parts exposes a simple property setter/getter for that configuration option.
