4.2. About Cache Containers

Cache containers are used in JBoss Data Grid's Remote Client-Server mode as a starting point for a cache. The cache-container element acts as a parent of one or more (local or clustered) caches. To add clustered caches to the container, transport must be defined.
The following is a sample cache container configuration: 
<subsystem xmlns="urn:infinispan:server:core:5.2" 
	   default-cache-container="default">
	<cache-container name="default" 
			 default-cache="default" 
			 listener-executor="infinispan-listener" 
			 start="EAGER">
		<local-cache ... >
			...
		</local-cache>
	</cache-container>
</subsystem>
The cache-container element specifies information about the cache container using the following parameters:
  • The name parameter defines the name of the cache container.
  • The default-cache parameter defines the name of the default cache used with the cache container.
  • The listener-executor defines the executor used for asynchronous cache listener notifications.
  • The start parameter indicates when the cache container starts, i.e. whether it will start lazily when requested or "eagerly" when the server starts up. Valid values for this parameter are EAGER and LAZY.
