I'm attempting to update Hibernate Search to use the latest Infinispan 7.0.0.Alpha4. One of the notable changes in this Infinispan version is that the class org.infinispan.configuration.parsing.Parser60 was dropped, having now only a Parser70 implementation (which forces you to rewrite all configuration files in a new format). In my direct dependencies I'm listing exclusively Infinispan modules having slot=7.0, so to load Infinispan dependencies from the custom modules provided by the latest Infinispan tag. Still I'm getting this exception when running our Arquillian integration tests: Caused by: java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: org.infinispan.configuration.parsing.ConfigurationParser: Provider org.infinispan.configuration.parsing.Parser60 not a subtype at java.util.ServiceLoader.fail(ServiceLoader.java:231) [rt.jar:1.7.0_51] at java.util.ServiceLoader.access$300(ServiceLoader.java:181) [rt.jar:1.7.0_51] at java.util.ServiceLoader$LazyIterator.next(ServiceLoader.java:369) [rt.jar:1.7.0_51] at java.util.ServiceLoader$1.next(ServiceLoader.java:445) [rt.jar:1.7.0_51] at org.infinispan.commons.util.ServiceFinder.addServices(ServiceFinder.java:60) at org.infinispan.commons.util.ServiceFinder.load(ServiceFinder.java:42) at org.infinispan.configuration.parsing.ParserRegistry.<init>(ParserRegistry.java:52) at org.hibernate.search.infinispan.impl.InfinispanConfigurationParser.<init>(InfinispanConfigurationParser.java:37) [hibernate-search-infinispan-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:5.0.0-SNAPSHOT] at org.hibernate.search.infinispan.DefaultCacheManagerService.start(DefaultCacheManagerService.java:86) [hibernate-search-infinispan-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:5.0.0-SNAPSHOT] at org.hibernate.search.engine.service.impl.StandardServiceManager$ServiceWrapper.startService(StandardServiceManager.java:255) [hibernate-search-engine-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:5.0.0-SNAPSHOT] Parser60 is nowhere to be found across the dependencies I'm explicitly listing; I'm guessing it's being injected on the classpath via the dependency to Hibernate:main ? Infinispan has similar integration tests for the modules, and this wasn't catched there so I assume the difference of "being an Hibernate application" could be something to explore. I think this is probably not a new issue, but could have been hidden previously: until previous Alpha releases of Infinispan a Parser60 was actually being included, so I think in that case the explicit dependency would have taken priority - by design or by luck. Also, previous Infinispan releases had a less dramatic approach and would include older parser implementations to keep backwards compatibility. I'm confused at this point; I don't think it's expected for an Hibernate user to get Infinispan classes on its classpath; I understand Hibernate might need to load 2nd level cache, but this should be an internal detail not exposed to modules consuming the ORM, right? I don't think I have ways to put exclusions in place, so I'm stuck; hopefully I'm doing something wrong in my branch HSEARCH-1594 .. I'll check again tomorrow but if someone is willing to have a look at what I'm doing that would be great. Sanne
