Chapter 15. Infinispan
15.1. About Infinispan
Infinispan is a Java data grid platform. It provides a JSR-107 compatible cache interface for managing cached data.
The following Infinispan cache containers are used in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6:
webfor Web Session Clusteringejbfor Stateful Session Bean Clusteringhibernatefor entity cachingsingletonfor singleton caching
Each cache container defines a "repl" and a "dist" cache. These caches should not be used directly by user applications.
Important
Users can add more cache containers and caches, and reference them via JNDI. However, this is unsupported in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.
For more information about Infinispan functionality and configuration options see the Infinispan Documentation.
