Hi, Re: http://community.jboss.org/message/548002#548002 This is the 2nd time I've seen people having issues with the single jar zip file. What's the aim of it?

People using it have generally been trying to simply get started with core Infinispan jar and its dependencies, nothing else. When they look at the single jar and all the dependencies in lib/, they seem quite baffled and have issues as in the case above. I think -bin.zip and -all.zip should be enough. Maybe we should create a poll on this?

My guess is that all expert developers are going to use the fine-grained jars, likely trough maven/ivy/gradle/.., but there might be a lot of less-involved people which won't notice this thread or the poll and would like to go for the single jar.

That would make the poll unfair, as I would vote for removing it too :P but you should choose

if you want to support less involved developers; likely improving instructions about AS integration would be more helpful.

Makes a poll pretty useless I suppose. Apologies for the delay getting back to this. Very good point made Sanne. We could try to remove single jar for Infinispan 4.1 and 5.0 pre releases and see what people's reaction is. > >> That would make the poll >> unfair, as I would vote for removing it too :P but you should choose > >> if you want to support less involved developers; likely improving >> instructions about AS integration would be more helpful. > > Ok, ok, we get the idea. ;) Quick note on this. Stefano Maeste and a colleague of his have been working on an sample Infinispan app that you can deploy in AS 4.x, 5.x and 6.x. They've promised to write a wiki on this. I keep bugging them about it :) Note that at this point I dunno whether the example is clustered or not and this is key since Infinispan uses diff JGroups to the one shipped with 4.x or 5.x, so isolation or similar would be needed here. Finally, wrt AS integration and Infinispan 2LC, I made a very clear statement now in http://community.jboss.org/wiki/usinginfinispanasjpahibernatesecondlevelc... Hibernate 3.5 does not work with AS 5.x or lower (http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5304), so can't have Infinispan 2LC there. > -- > Manik Surtani > manik(a)jboss.org > Lead, Infinispan > Lead, JBoss Cache > http://www.infinispan.org > http://www.jbosscache.org > > > > > _______________________________________________ > infinispan-dev mailing list > infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev -- Galder Zamarreño Sr. Software Engineer Infinispan, JBoss Cache _______________________________________________ infinispan-dev mailing list infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev
