I am trying to configure second level caching for hibernate using Infinispan. My JBoss AS version is 7.1.1 (Final) Brontes release.

I have followed all the suggestions mentioned in the thread: 

https://community.jboss.org/thread/177214?tstart=0

However, I am still getting the below exception

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

    at org.hibernate.cache.infinispan.InfinispanRegionFactory.getCache(InfinispanRegionFactory.java:445)

Can someone please help me in getting through this?

I have also added the below to my standalone.xml file for "Eager" start:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:infinispan:1.2" default-cache-container="hibernate">

            <cache-container name="hibernate" default-cache="local-query" start="EAGER">

.......

Also,

My persistence.xml has the following properties related to 2nd level caching:

<shared-cache-mode>ENABLE_SELECTIVE</shared-cache-mode>

<properties>

     <property name="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache" value="true" />

     <property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache" value="true" />

</properties>
