Programmatic Control over entry-time-to-live in Gemfire Region with ClientRegionShortcut.PROXY

Question

Is it possible to have a ClientCache with ClientRegionShortcut.PROXY along with programmatic control over entry TTL settings (i.e. entries present in the server)?

I see the entry expiration ttl settings working fine with ClientRegionShortcut.CACHING_PROXY_HEAP_LRU. In this case I can see the entries getting invalidated in server after the configured timeout in seconds, but that is not the case for ClientRegionShortcut.PROXY settings

Is it NOT possible to dynamically control the entry-ttl settings for a ClientCache?

Below code/config works with ClientRegionShortcut.CACHING_PROXY_HEAP_LRU and NOT with ClientRegionShortcut.PROXY.

The Gemfire version is : 9.0.x The pom looks like below
