How to create a named cache with Infinispan 4.2.1.FINAL on JBoss 5.1

[christoph_ortmann]

First: Hello community (I think this is my first post :-)

I am running a single .ear file on a JBoss 5.1.0.GA server (64bit on SUN SOLARIS), not clustered.  I want to use Infinispan as a global cache (_NOT_ a second level cache for hibernate, NOT (yet) distributed).I included Infinispan 4.2.1.FINAL in my pom.xml, it deployed and I was able to create and use the default cache.

But now I want to create a named cache as follows:

        try {

            final String configFile = "infinispan_config.xml";

            DefaultCacheManager cacheManager = new DefaultCacheManager(configFile);

            Configuration config = cacheManager.getDefaultConfiguration().clone();

            config.setEvictionStrategy(EvictionStrategy.NONE); // "to disable eviction"

            config.setEvictionMaxEntries(-1); // "-1 means no limit"

            config.setExpirationLifespan(-1); // "-1 means the entries never expire"

            String newCacheName = "MyCache_" + myId;

            cacheManager.defineConfiguration(newCacheName, config);

            cache = cacheManager.getCache(newCacheName);

        } catch (IOException ex) {

            logger.error("Cannot reading file: " + configFile);

        }

Unfortunately this leads to the following stacktrace:

Unable to invoke method public void org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshaller.start() on object

org.infinispan.CacheException: Unable to invoke method public void org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshaller.start() on object

Oh, Btw:

the "infinispan_config.xml" file simply contains a <infinispan></infinispan> entry. I cannot use a static file as I want to give the cache a "dynamic" myId (int) as name suffix.

Can anybody help me this? Is it really soooo complicated to create the cache? What is the difference in creating a named cache vs using the default cache.

PS:

I looked around and found _LOTS_ of posts, but I am confused wether JBoss 5.1.0.GA and Infinispan 4.2.1.FINAL will properly work together, esp. as I was able to put something to the default cache and get it back later.
