WF11 -> WF13, infinispan upgrade problem

[hannez82]

We are trying to upgrade from wildfly 11 to wildfly 13 but can't understand how we should inject our caches that we have defined in the conf. The old conf looks like this:

<cache-container name="latest_xx_status" default-cache="default" module="org.wildfly.clustering.server" jndi-name="java:jboss/infinispan/latest_xx_status">

   <transport lock-timeout="60000"/>

   <replicated-cache name="default" jndi-name="java:jboss/infinispan/latest_xx_status/cache" mode="ASYNC" remote-timeout="1000">

   <transaction locking="OPTIMISTIC" mode="NONE" stop-timeout="1000"/>

   <eviction strategy="NONE"/>

   </replicated-cache>

</cache-container>

And the code looks like this:

@Resource(lookup = "java:jboss/infinispan/latest_xx_status/cache")

However, with the 6.0 namespace of inifinspan we can no longer define jndi-name for the cache and we can't find it anyway in the jndi-tree. We can find the cache-container though... but we want to inject the cache directly.

How should we resolve this?

We had a similar issue, here is how we solved it:

• Use the default JNDI names of Inifinispan
• Reference the JNDI names in ebj-jar.xml / web.xml, see Access WildFly Infinispan Cache Container from Web Application

To optimize the portability of your code, I recommend that you access your Infinispan cache via a resource reference, rather referencing a vendor specific namespace.  To do this, add the following to your deployment descriptor:

<resource-env-ref>
  <resource-env-ref-name>cache/latest_xx_status</resource-env-ref-name>
  <resource-env-ref-type>org.infinispan.Cache</resource-env-ref-type>
  <lookup-name>java:jboss/infinispan/cache/latest_xx_status/default</lookup-name>
</resource-env-ref>

Then reference the cache using:

@Resource(name="cache/latest_xx_status")
private Cache<?, ?> cache;
