Infinispan JCache configuration in JBoss 5.1.2

[j.ajmani]

Hi all,

I am working on clustering Infinispan caches (version 9.1.7) in JBoss 5.1.2 servers. The way I am accomplishing this is by creating an uber jar and relocating certain jgroups packages. I have followed the following documentation Chapter 10. JSR-107 (JCache) API - Red Hat Customer Portal , but had no luck in clustering caches as the caches are always created in local mode. I have the following questions:

1) Do I need to specify an infinispan.xml file ? Is there a way I can create an Infinispan clustered JCache programmatically.

2) If I have to do configure cache's via xml, is there an example for version 9.1.7 of Infinispan that works.

The requirement is to create caches dynamically, without specifying it in the xml file. The document is unclear as to how to do that.

If you can use certain pattern for the caches you can specify just a template with wildcard: http://infinispan.org/docs/stable/user_guide/user_guide.html#cache_configuration_wildcards 

If you want to configure caches programmatically, you need to use Infinispan API:

JCacheManager jcManager = ...;

EmbeddedCacheManager manager = jcManager.unwrap(EmbeddedCacheManager.class);

manager.defineConfiguration(...);

Ok, but how would this work for the RemoteCacheManager ?

The same way as long as you have infinispan jcache remote as implementation:

JCacheManager jcManager = ...;

RemoteCacheManager manager = jcManager.unwrap(RemoteCacheManager.class);

manager.administration().createCache(...)
