Infinispan + Tomcat 7 + JbossTS - 2LC config

davidfaulstich Jun 12, 2013 3:33 PM

Trying to setup an tomcat 7 using Galder Zamarreño sample but with a few changes.

http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/hibernate/core/trunk/cache-infinispan/src/test/java/org/hibernate/test/cache/infinispan/tm/JBossStandaloneJtaExampleTest.java

Already read following resources:

https://community.jboss.org/wiki/ImplementingStandaloneJPAJTAHibernateApplicationOutsideJ2EEServerUsingInfinispan2ndLevelCache

https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Implementing+standalone+JPA+JTA+Hibernate+application+outside+J2EE+server+using+Infinispan+2nd+level+cache

http://java.dzone.com/articles/how-configure-infinispan

PS: Due to client restrictions I am unable to run infinispan under AS7 or EAP6.

But, when I try to bind the transaction manager under initial context, getting following error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I had a similar requirement to run jpa + l2 cache + infinispan in Tomcat.

The following coniguration worked for me.

hibernate.cache.region.factory_class -> org.hibernate.cache.infinispan.InfinispanRegionFactory
hibernate.transaction.jta.platform -> org.hibernate.service.jta.platform.internal.JBossStandAloneJtaPlatform
hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class -> org.hibernate.cache.infinispan.tm.HibernateTransactionManagerLookup

I had the following additional dependencies.

<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-infinispan</artifactId>
<version>4.2.5.Final</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.jbossts</groupId>
<artifactId>jbossjta</artifactId>
<version>4.16.4.Final</version>

Thank you very much for this post, I've tried this solution and it gets me a few more steps ahead. However now when I try to put something into a cache I get an exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot create a transactional context without a valid Transaction instance.

Is this something that you've seen before? In the CacheImpl class the injectDependencies call is made with transactionManager == null so it feels like Infinispan is not aware of the transaction manager somehow.

I'm using Infinispan 6.0. Any hints or suggestions would be most appreciated :-)

karlvr Dec 31, 2013 5:45 PM (in response to karlvr)

I did get a bit further. If I put these in my Hibernate configuration (note these are for Hibernate 4.3, which has changed some classes around):
hibernate.transaction.jta.platform=org.hibernate.service.jta.platform.internal.JBossStandAloneJtaPlatform
hibernate.transaction.factory_class=org.hibernate.engine.transaction.internal.jta.JtaTransactionFactory

Then Hibernate uses JBossTM for the platform, and for its transactions. This means that Hibernate no longer uses JDBCTransacationFactory (WARNING!). If you don't specify a transactionMnaagerLookup for Infinispan (or specify the dummy one) then it will choose org.hibernate.cache.infinispan.tm.HibernateTransactionManagerLookup, which looks to Hibernate and uses whatever its JtaPlatform suggests - which is JBossTM standalone.

So we get Hibernate and Infinispan working nicely together with transactions, and this resolves the IllegalArgumentException I reported above.

HOWEVER. And this is a big however. Hibernate is no longer using JDBC transactions. No one is using JDBC transactions. I believe this is a good blog post to read at this point: http://jbossts.blogspot.com/2012/01/connecting-dots.html The JDBC connection isn't enrolled in the transaction manager. It's quite easy to miss this; I turned on statement logging in PostgreSQL to check for BEGIN and COMMIT. They weren't there.

Solution? I am working on a solution to get Infinispan to hook into Hibernate's Transactions, whatever they are. So Hibernate will continue to use JDBCTransactionFactory, and Infinispan will work with that. If anyone is interested, please get in touch.
