Matt Ward ada5b12a8f Messaging facade for clustered communications to allow implementations from JGroups or Hazelcast to be used.
* PropertyBackedBeanExporter uses the facade, configured with JGroups messaging implementation.
* Unfortunately, some remodelling required before this will work with Ehcache's CacheManagerPeerProviderFactory
