Embedded Infinispan questions...

[johnson_shawn]

I am using JBoss AS 7.1.1-FINAL, and trying to leverage the embedded Infinispan subsystem.  I stumbled across this document - https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/CDI+Support#CDISupport-UseaJBossAS7configuredcache - and thought that it sounded attractive.  What I'm most unsure about is the dependencies.  I'm not using Maven...Currently I have the following in my WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml:

  <dependencies>
    ...

  <module name="org.infinispan"/>
  </dependencies>

Then I'm including infinispan-core-5.1.2.FINAL.jar in my eclipse project (but not my war).

I don't see the infinispan-cdi-5.1.2.FINAL.jar anywhere under the modules folder...so what's the best way to add this?

1. Add it to the existing modules subfolder?  Do I need to match the version?
2. Add it to my WEB-INF/lib?  Do I also need to add the core jar here as well?  Which version, matching or newer?
3. I even see that 5.2 has an AS7 modules download, however it doesn't seem to include the CDI jar?
4. How about other jars required with the CDI jar?

Thanks!

Never done it but since Infinispan is probably quite tightly server-integrated, I would probably edit it into the module of org.infinispan. Version matching is always a good thing if applicable. Perhaps the CDI module is considered "experimental" still if it's not in the main distribution. Start it up, see what breaks and work from there ;-)

The CDI module currently does not ship with AS7, although there is a JIRA open to include it: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6658

I tried the CDI module out on a project by including it in my deployment. I didn't find it especially helpful though. Caches/containers can already be injected wherever you need using @Resource, and I didn't find the JCache interceptors useful.
