Infinispan and native JGroups API in one cluster

[ghik]

Hi,

We are using infinispan for caching, but we also need some asynchronous messaging api in the cluster. We would like to use JGroups for this. Can we use it in our application without creating more than one JGroups cluster? Is it possible and safe to use the same JChannel (or second JChannel using the same resources) that is used by Infinispan for this purpose?

Thanks,

Roman

No, it is not safe to use the same JChannel. You can use a MuxChannel implementation, like I did here:

Please disregard the rest of the code as it is now dated and we have a better solution for the indexing problem
