"HHH025007: Custom cache configuration 'entities.custom-cache' was requested for region entities.custom-cache but it was not found - using configuration by type (entity)." in JBoss EAP

Issue

• A custom cache template is defined in the "hibernate" cache container in the standalone.xml

              <local-cache name="entities.custom-cache">
                  <transaction mode="NONE"/>
                  <object-memory size="10"/>
              </local-cache>
  

• In the legacy (pre-JPA) hibernate.cfg.xml this is associated with a named cache region

              <property name="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class">org.infinispan.hibernate.cache.v53.InfinispanRegionFactory</property>
              <property name="hibernate.cache.region_prefix">entities</property>
              <property name="hibernate.cache.infinispan.entities.custom-cache.cfg">entities.custom-cache</property>
              <property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache">true</property>
  

• The cache region is then referenced in an entity annotation:

  @Entity
  @Cache(usage=CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE, region="custom-cache")
  public class Employee {
      ...
  }
  

• At deployment, an exception is logged

  ... HHH025007: Custom cache configuration 'entities.custom-cache' was requested for region entities.custom-cache but it was not found - using configuration by type (entity).
  

• This same approach (but using transactional caching) worked in JBoss EAP 7.1
