Infinispan as Hibernate 2nd-Level Cache in JBoss AS 5.

x
A JBoss AS 5.x application can be configured to use Infinispan 4.x as the Hibernate 2nd-level cache, replacing JBoss Cache. 1. Add the attached jar files to the ear lib directory. These include the core 4.1.0.GA Infinispan jar (infinispan-core.jar), the Hibernate/Infinispan integration jar back-ported from Hibernate 3.5 (hibernate-infinispan-3.3.2.GA_CP03.jar), the JGroups jar required by Infinispan 4.1.0 (jgroups-2.10.0.GA.jar), and other required 3rd party jars (river-1.2.3.GA.jar, marshalling-api-1.2.3.GA.jar) 2. Isolate the classloading to be ear-scoped by adding META-INF/jboss-classloading.xml 3. <classloading xmlns="urn:jboss:classloading:1.0" domain="simple-scoped" parent-first="false" /> 4. Configure persistence.xml to use Infinispan instead of JBoss Cache:
