    • Will there be a POJO Cache replacement in Infinispan?

    • How come Infinispan's first release is 4.0.0?  This sounds weird!

    • What should I use, JBoss Cache or Infinispan?

    • Where can I get more information on Infinispan?

    • How is this related to JSR 107, the JCACHE specification?

  • Technical FAQs

    • General FAQs

      • Is Infinispan's configuration compatible with JBoss Cache?

      • What APIs does Infinispan offer?

      • Which JVMs (JDKs) does Infinispan work with?

    • Cache Loaders and Cache Store FAQs

      • Cache loaders and cache stores - what's the difference?

      • Are modifications to asynchronous cache stores coalesced or aggregated?

      • In JBoss Cache, the JDBC and File CacheLoaders had restrictions such as only being able to use Strings in Fqns.  Is this still the case in Infinispan?

      • What does the passivation flag do?

      • What if I get IOException "Unsupported protocol version 48" with JdbcStringBasedCacheStore?

    • Locking FAQs

      • Does Infinispan support distributed eager locking?

      • How does Infinispan support explicit eager locking?

      • How does Infinispan support implicit eager locking?

      • JBoss Cache exposed several different locking schemes - pessimistic, optimistic and MVCC.  I don't see a way to specify locking scheme in Infinispan.  Why is this?

      • What isolation levels does Infinispan support?

    • Transaction FAQs

      • When using Atomikos transaction manager, distributed caches are not distributing data, what is the problem?

    • Eviction and Expiration FAQs

      • Expiration does not work, what is the problem?

      • Why is cache size sometimes even higher than specified maxEntries of the eviction configuration element?

      • Why isn't there a notification for the expiration of a cache entry?

    • Cache Manager FAQs

      • Can I create caches using different cache modes using the same cache manager?

      • Can transactions span different Cache instances from the same cache manager?

      • Infinispan allows me to create several Caches from a single CacheManager.  Are there any reasons to create separate CacheManagers?

    • Cache Mode FAQs

      • What is the difference between a replicated cache and a distributed cache?

      • Does DIST support both synchronous and asynchronous communications?

      • I have caches configured with asynchronous replication or distribution, but these caches appear to be behaving synchronously (waiting for responses), what is going on?

      • I notice that when using DIST, the cache does a remote get before a write command.  Why is this?

      • I use a clustered cache.  I want the guarantees of synchronous replication with the parallelism of asynchronous replication.  What can I do?

      • Is buddy replication supported?

      • What is the L1 cache?

    • Listener FAQs

      • In a cache entry modified listener, can the modified value be retrieved via Cache.get() when isPre=false?

    • Cloud FAQs

      • How do you make Infinispan send replication traffic over a specific network when you don't know the IP address?

    • Demo FAQs

      • When using the GUI Demo, I've just put an entry in the cache with lifespan of -1.  Why do I see it as having a lifespan of 60,000?

    • Query Module FAQs

      • When I run an application based on the Query module, I get a ClassNotFoundException for org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder. How do I solve it?

    • JBoss Application Server Integration FAQs
