Aggregating cache-config.xml files

Question

I'd like to add to, rather than override, my cache config files. How do I go about that? Do I have to deal with XmlElements of the DefaultConfigurableCacheFactory directly, or is there some simpler way to do this?
Thanks ---

Hi Cindy,
There is nothing in the core product but if you use the Coherence Incubator Commons then you can do it. http://coherence.oracle.com/display/INC10/coherence-common
You need to include the coherence-commons jar in your class path then you can do this...
<cache-config
     xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-cache-config"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-cache-config coherence-cache-config.xsd"
        xmlns:element="class://com.oracle.coherence.environment.extensible.namespaces.XmlElementProcessingNamespaceContentHandler"
        element:introduce-cache-config="coherence-common-cache-config.xml">
    <caching-scheme-mapping>
    </caching-scheme-mapping>
    <caching-schemes>
    </caching-schemes>
</cache-config>The above config uses the element namespace from the incubator that allows you to add the element:introduce-cache-config attribute to the cache-config tag which imports the specified cache config file. http://coherence.oracle.com/display/INC10/element-namespace
