[infinispan-dev] Infinispan URL format

In the past there has been talk of representing a connection to Infinispan using a URL, in particular for HotRod. The Hibernate OGM team is now working on adding NoSQL datasources to WildFly, and they've asked for they should represent connections to various of these. For Hot Rod: infinispan:hotrod://[host1][:port1][,[host2][:port2]]...[/cachemanager] The [cachemanager] part is for multi-tenant servers (Hot Rod doesn't currently support this, so this is forward-looking). Obviously we will support all of the HotRod properties for specifying things like security, etc. For Embedded: infinispan:embedded:file://path/to/config.xml (for specifying an external config file) infinispan:embedded:jndi://path/to/jndi (for referencing a cachemanager in JNDI) infinispan:embedded: (configuration specified as properties) For the latter, we also need to be able to represent an infinispan configuration using properties with a simple mapping to XML elements/attributes, e.g. cache-manager.local-cache.mycache.eviction.size=1000 Comments are welcome Tristan -- Tristan Tarrant Infinispan Lead JBoss, a division of Red Hat
