Re: [hibernate-dev] AS7-4007 missing Infinispan dependency for clustered JPA second level cache

This reminds me that we had a discussion about this a few months back: http://goo.gl/DJLhB At the time, it wasn't clear whether you can use ModularClassResolver in a non-module env. Seems like it's not possible. So, one option is to have a class resolver lookup class, or similar so that AS7 can pass us the right ClassResolver. There might a quicker option here though: - Extend VersionAwareMarshaller (http://goo.gl/bu8CF) and provide a variant of JBossMarshaller (http://goo.gl/o9Ro3) in Infinispan (this requires JBossMarshaller to be made non-final) - Override JBossMarshaller.inject(), call super.inject() and then call baseCfg.setClassResolver(…) - This would require that the VersionAwareMarshaller extension be passed the ModuleLoader that ModularClassResolver requires. - Configure Infinispan with this new marshaller, via SerializationConfiguration. Thankfully you can now pass an instance of the marshaller to it, so no need to do any magic ModuleLoader lookup from the VersionAwareMarshaller extension. Scott, other than the change in JBossMarshaller to be made non-final, the rest can built on AS7. Wanna have a go? Ping me on IRC if you need help. Cheers, p.s. Silly question, how come this issue is not present in HTTP session replication use case or EJB3 SFSB?

The hack was to export the Infinispan module when the Hibernate module is brought into an application. This covered both JPA and Hibernate native applications, however it exports into every other module that references the Hibernate module (increasing the time that it takes to link the Hibernate module into other modules).

Perhaps by using MarshallingConfiguration.setClassResolver() to pass a ModuleClassResolver to be used with Infinispan marshalling/unmarshalling.
