It looks like the cache manager thinks it is all  in local mode, and does not really form the cluster when one of the cache set clustering mode = local.

But, it works if I set one of cache to clustering mode = invalidation and others to replication.

It seems a bug.

Anyone in known to confirm this.

I found out the problem in my configuration. I did not remove the <async> after setting clustering mode to local. Infinispan is fine.
