Getting "ClassCastException: org.infinispan.context.impl.NonTxInvocationContext cannot be cast to org.infinispan.context.impl.TxInvocationContext" during EAP 7 start-up after the cache configuration change

Issue

I made the cache configuration change in the infinisppan subsystem which was described in this article JBoss EAP 7 does not process requests for a session in parallel.

Then, when I restarted each cluster node one by one, the EAP 7 start-up failed with the following ERROR messages.

• A restarted node outputs the following ERROR messages:
