Infinispan Cluster - infinispan

Question

I need to form a infinispan cluster in distributed mode. This cache is used for storing session data. Currently I am using tomcatInfinispanSessionManager developed by Manik from Jboss team.
I have created the infinispan xml in distributed mode and using two tomcats for testing. Using apache as a load balancer. Each machine has its own copy of infinispan cache entry. When any of the tomcat is shut down the session is retrieved from other infinispan cache.
My question is: how to make this cache entry into an infinispan server (either using hotrod/memcached) that is running on a separate machine?

Answer 1

If you add a remote cache loader to the cache configuration you have, it'll back up the data in a remote Hot Rod server, assuming you configure the IP:Port address of the Hot Rod server(s) correctly.
However, if you're trying to cluster your session data, I'd highly recommend you download JBoss EAP 6.1, which comes with Infinispan-based cluster-ready session data storage out of the box. The session cache can still be configured with a remote cache loader too, but the configuration will be slightly different since it uses JBoss EAP configuration format.

Answer 2

I am using ispn 5.1 version and started the server in hotrod mode. My cache config xml is as follows.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<infinispan xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:infinispan:config:5.3 http://www.infinispan.org/schemas/infinispan-config-5.3.xsd
urn:infinispan:config:remote:5.3 http://www.infinispan.org/schemas/infinispan-cachestore-remote-config-5.3.xsd"
xmlns="urn:infinispan:config:5.3" xmlns:remote="urn:infinispan:config:remote:5.3">

<transport clusterName="tomcatSession">

</property>
</properties>
</transport>
<globalJmxStatistics enabled="true" />
</global>
<namedCache name="tc_session_ispn-sess-mgr">
<clustering mode="distribution">
<l1 enabled="true" lifespan="600000" />
</clustering>
<loaders>
<remoteStore xmlns="urn:infinispan:config:remote:5.3"
fetchPersistentState="false" ignoreModifications="false"
purgeOnStartup="false" remoteCache="myCache" rawValues="true">
<servers>
<server host="10.145.4.172" port="11222" />
</servers>
<connectionPool maxActive="10" exhaustedAction="CREATE_NEW" />
<async enabled="true" />
</remoteStore>
</loaders>
</namedCache>
</infinispan>
While using this cache config xml I am gettong the following exception
Exception in thread "main" org.infinispan.config.ConfigurationException: javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError at [row,col]:[39,104]
Message: Unexpected element '{urn:infinispan:config:remote:5.3}remoteStore' encountered

Kindly correct me if I am wrong and suggest how to proceed further?
