If Infinispan is used as a provider for JCache using the remote approach it will not pick up the hotrod-client.properties ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-6563 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-6563 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Bug Components: Remote Protocols Affects Versions: 8.2.1.Final, 9.0.0.Alpha1 Reporter: Wolf-Dieter Fink Assignee: Galder Zamarreño Fix For: 9.0.0.Alpha2, 8.2.2.Final, 9.0.0.Final If an application use the javax.cache JCache API together with the infinispan-jcache-remote library the CacheManager is created with defaults. But it is expected that the hotrod-client.properties are used to configure the remote connection. The code is like this: { import javax.cache.*; ... CachingProvider jcacheProvider = Caching.getCachingProvider(); CacheManager cacheManager = jcacheProvider.getCacheManager(); } The org.infinispan.jcache.AbstractJCachingProvider use the org.infinispan.jcache.remote.CacheManger but does not provide properties. Therefor the CacheManager is constructed with the default of localhost:11222 as the configuration is not loaded from the properties file.
