20.4. JGroups for Clustered Modes

JBoss Data Grid must have an appropriate JGroups configuration in order to operate in clustered mode.

To configure JGroups programmatically use the following:

GlobalConfiguration gc = new GlobalConfigurationBuilder()
  .transport()
  .defaultTransport() 
  .addProperty("configurationFile","jgroups.xml")
  .build();

To configure JGroups using XML use the following:

<infinispan>
  <global>
    <transport>
      <properties>
        <property name="configurationFile" value="jgroups.xml" />
      </properties>
    </transport>
  </global>
 
  ...
 
</infinispan>

In either programmatic or XML configuration methods, JBoss Data Grid searches for jgroups.xml in the classpath before searching for an absolute path name if it is not found in the classpath.
