[Sebastian Łaskawiec (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-7351?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13352618#comment-13352618 ] 

Sebastian Łaskawiec commented on ISPN-7351:
-------------------------------------------

[~Seto] I checked the {{@Named}} annotation and the implementation seems to work fine with it (see the [PR|https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/pull/4793]).

However, let me clarify a couple of things:

* As the [Javadoc states|http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/inject/Named.html], {{@Named}} is a String-based *qualifier*. This means that it can be used as a replacement for {{@Qualifier}} annotations.
* Since you might want to use {{Configuration}} as a standard, CDI managed bean, we need to use an additional annotation ({{ConfigureCache}}), to tell the CDI extension, that we want to use given {{Configuration}} instance for creating caches dynamically.

Having all of the above in mind, a proper configuration should look like this:
{code}
@Named("large") //A String-based *qualifier*
@ConfigureCache("large") //We ask CDI to use this bean for configuring Cache Manager
@Produces
public Configuration largeConfiguration = new ConfigurationBuilder().memory().size(3).build();
...
@Inject
@Named("large") //Those names need to match
private AdvancedCache<?, ?> largeCache;
{code}

Also, please make sure that you are using the latest Infinispan 9. We introduced a lot of improvements for CDI in this release.

> Currently our users have to create lots and lots of {{@Qualifier}} type of annotations. It would be desirable to support {{@Named("driver")}} type of annotations.
