Infinispan cache deploy to other container

[praveenp2]

Hi,

I am working on project, i have to run infinispan in container and access using client. I was going through user guide and not able to find information regarding this.

Anybody has article on this would be helpful

Infinispan container is on Docker hub (assuming container = docker), including some  https://hub.docker.com/r/jboss/infinispan-server/

If you find that some option is missing, the image is pretty simple, here is the source, feel free to adapt to your needs and contribute the generic changes back.

The client part does not change; if you're not using host networking, you may have to set up proxy address for Hot Rod: Cannot connect to infinispan host running inside docker · Issue #31 · jboss-dockerfiles/infinispan · GitHub

Thanks Radim Vansa for your reply,

container means any servlet container like tc server or tomcat. I was looking deploy infinispan in my existing tomcat server as war file.

In that case you can look into our Spring Boot Starters. A very short demo might be found here. If you're looking for more advanced demo, please have a look at JDG quickstart (JDG is a product based on Infinispan, their codebases are very similar)

It is certainly possible. Do you want to expose Hot Rod or REST ? And is data in the cache also accessed by code within the WAR file ?

Thanks Tristan,

1. expose as rest service, is it possible to expose as hotrod ?

2. No, WAR file will not have any code, just cache and related operation

Ok, now my question is: do you need REST and Hot Rod at the same time for the same caches ? If not, you do not need compatibility mode (which stores data in a way that makes it accessible from multiple endpoints).

I've whipped up a quick demo of how to do this for Hot Rod:

Thanks Tristan,

I went through quick demo and it was helpful

If you could send restful example, it will be helpful
