How to use replicated Infinispan cache in Wildfly standalone-full-ha

[discger]

Hello,

I would like to use a replicated Infinispan cache using two Wildfly standalone instances. I want to insert a value on one node and I should be able to read it on the other node.

Here's what I tried:

• I unzipped the full WF10 distribution using two different virtual maschines running Debian Jessie.
• I run both maschines with the standalone-full-ha.xml config.
• I changed the binding from localhost to the IP adresses of the VMs - all ports are reachable from outside.
• I added another cache by inserting the following code to the config:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:infinispan:4.0">
  <cache-container name="monitor" default-cache="default">
    <transport lock-timeout="60000"/>
    <replicated-cache name="default" mode="SYNC">
      <transaction mode="BATCH"/>
    </replicated-cache>
  </cache-container>
...

• The rest of the configuration is not modified.
• On both nodes I get the following log entries (my interpretation is - both nodes see each other):

2016-03-13 11:19:43,160 INFO  [org.infinispan.remoting.transport.jgroups.JGroupsTransport] (MSC service thread 1-1) ISPN000094: \
    Received new cluster view for channel monitor: [wf1|5] (2) [wf1, wf2]

• On one node I created a cache writer. On the other node a cache reader is deployed:

@Singleton
@Startup
public class CacheWriter {

    private final static Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CacheWriter.class);

    @Resource(lookup = "java:jboss/infinispan/container/monitor")
    private EmbeddedCacheManager cacheManager;

    private Cache<String, String> cache;

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        cache = cacheManager.getCache();
        LOG.info("Cache name: " + cache.getName());
    }

    @Schedule(hour = "*", minute = "*", second = "0", persistent = false)
    public void createDateString() {
        Long date = new Date().getTime();
        updateCache("date", date.toString());
    }

    public void updateCache(String key, String value) {
        if (cache.containsKey("date")) {
            LOG.info("Update date value: " + value);
            cache.put(key, value);
        } else {
            LOG.info("Create date value: " + value);
            cache.put(key, value);
        }
    }
}

@Singleton
@Startup
public class CacheReader {

    private final static Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CacheReader.class);

    @Resource(lookup = "java:jboss/infinispan/container/monitor")
    private EmbeddedCacheManager cacheManager;

    private Cache<String, String> cache;

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        cache = cacheManager.getCache();
        LOG.info("Cache name: " + cache.getName());
    }

    @Schedule(hour = "*", minute = "*", second = "10", persistent = false)
    public void readDateString() {
        LOG.info("Cache size: " + cache.keySet().size());
        if (cache.containsKey("date")) {
            LOG.info("The date value is: " + cache.get("date"));
        } else {
            LOG.warn("No date value found");
        }
    }
}

The values on the writer are inserted but there are no cache modifications on the reader node and the cache size is always 0. What am I missing? Can you help me.

Thanks in advance.
