I was trying to test my application on AS 7 Beta 3, and enable the second-level cache, since Beta 3 integrated Infinispan. I followed the configuration directions here:

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/usingin ... heprovider

After building the ear again, I deployed to a clustered configuration on AS 7 Beta 3, and during deployment I received the following exception:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.cache.infinispan.JndiInfinispanRegionFactory from [Module "org.hibernate:main" from local module loader @1fff7a1e (roots: /root/jboss-7.0.0.Beta3/modules)]

So, I looked in the jars for the Hibernate module, and sure enough there doesn't appear to be any of the second-level cache classes I would expect.

Is there a reason why the Hibernate that is picked up in AS 7 does not have the second-level cache implementation?

Can I take another build, and replace the jars in AS 7 to get this functionality?

Hi,
you don't have to replace the bundled build, you're missing the optional dependency; I think you could pack the missing module with your application.

The missing module is <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId><artifactId>hibernate-infinispan</artifactId> (if using maven), or just hibernate-infinispan.jar from the distribution bundle.

I'll give that a try. I believe you are correct, that should work.

Thanks.
