Felix Meschberger edited comment on SLING-4307 at 1/14/15 10:17 AM: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at the JcrPropertyMapCacheEntry I think we can do away with not caching the Property object. The Property object is only needed to know about whether the Property is multi-value or not. This could be done by just a flag field. In addition you might add a JcrResourceUtil.toJavaObject method to take the multi-value flag and the array of values to convert to supercede the use of the JcrResourceUtil.toJavaObject(Property) call. Yes, not caching the Property at all, makes sense. was (Author: fmeschbe): I think we can do away with not caching the Property object.
