Infinispan cache container injection in jakarta ee 10 and Wildfly 31.0.0

[Susanne Jarl]

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade from java ee 8 and Wildfly 26.1.0 to jakarta ee 10 and Wildfly 31.0.0 but the infinispan cache won't work. I get an exception when I try to inject the cache container in my ejb:

import org.infinispan.manager.CacheContainer;
@Resource(lookup = "java:jboss/infinispan/container/myCache")
private CacheContainer cacheContainer;

The exception:

Caused by: jakarta.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: WFLYEE0117: Field cacheContainer cannot be set - object of class org.jboss.as.clustering.infinispan.manager.DefaultCacheContainer loaded by ModuleClassLoader for Module "org.jboss.as.clustering.infinispan" version 31.0.0.Final from local module loader @65a15628 (finder: local module finder @2e6a5539 (roots: /myserverpath/wildfly-31.0.0.Final/modules,/myserverpath/wildfly-31.0.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base)) is not assignable to interface org.infinispan.manager.CacheContainer loaded by ModuleClassLoader for Module "deployment.myname.war" from Service Module Loader

The configuration in standalone.xml is

<cache-container name="myCache" default-cache="myCacheDefault">
    <local-cache name="myCacheDefault"/>
</cache-container>

Any ideas? This worked perfectly with java ee 8 and Wildfly 26.1.0.

Many thanks in advance!

I suspect the underlying issue is that your deployment was compiled against org.infinispan:infinispan-core, but the server was compiled against org.infinispan:infinispan-core-jakarta

Is that possible?

Also, how are you exposing the Infinispan classes to your application?

Hi, thanks for answering!

In my pom I've got the Wildfly 31.0.0 BOM in my depencencyManagement. As dependencies of infinispan I've got the jakarta versions. See below.

<dependency>
<groupId>org.wildfly.bom</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-ee-with-tools</artifactId>
<version>31.0.0.Final</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.infinispan</groupId>
<artifactId>infinispan-core-jakarta</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.infinispan</groupId>
<artifactId>infinispan-commons-jakarta</artifactId>
</dependency>

If I look at the dependencies in IntelliJ it seems to be the right versions: 

Any ideas?

Are you bundling these jars in your deployment?  BOM dependencies should always use provided scope so that they are not packaged with your deployment archive.

Instead, the deployment should be configured to import the requisite module provided by the server.

To import the server's infinispan modules into your deployment, you should define the following in your /META-INF/MANIFEST.MF:

Dependencies: org.infinispan, org.infinispan.commons

For details, see: https://docs.wildfly.org/31/Developer_Guide.html#dependencies-manifest-entries

Thank you! Problem is solved!

Only adding (as you suggested):

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifestEntries>
<Dependencies>org.infinispan, org.infinispan.commons</Dependencies>
</manifestEntries>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>

to the plugins in my pom solved the problem. 😊👍

Although, the infinispan jars were never packaged in my war WEB-INF/lib folder when I had the problem. But when I add the plugin creating the manifest (code above), then I find the inifinspan jars (jakarta versions) in WEB-INF/lib and my problem is solved.

If I change the wildfly bom dependency scope from import to provided I will get a lot of errors like 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing, when running maven install:

This:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.wildfly.bom</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-ee-builder</artifactId>
<version>31.0.0.Final</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Gives:

[ERROR]     'dependencies.dependency.version' for jakarta.enterprise:jakarta.enterprise.cdi-api:jar is missing. @ line 120, column 15

[ERROR]     'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator:jar is missing. @ line 136, column 15

Thank you very much!!
