"Unable to instantiate class org.infinispan.client.hotrod.impl.transport.tcp.TcpTransportFactory" when configuring a remote cache store for JBoss EAP 6.0 web clustering

Issue

• While externalizing sessions into a remote Infinispan cluster instead of the classic EAP embedded clustering.

  <replicated-cache name="repl" mode="ASYNC" batching="true">
          <remote-store cache="default" socket-timeout="60000" tcp-no-delay="true" fetch-state="false" preload="true" purge="false" shared="true">
                  <remote-server outbound-socket-binding="remote-store-hotrod-server"/>
          </remote-store>
  </replicated-cache>
  

  the following exception occurs when trying to configure the remote store, on application initilization:

  ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (CacheService lifecycle - 1) MSC000001: Failed to start service jboss.infinispan.web.default-host/test: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.infinispan.web.default-host/test: org.infinispan.CacheException: Unable to invoke method public void org.infinispan.loaders.CacheLoaderManagerImpl.start() on object of type CacheLoaderManagerImpl
