How do I make AS6 Infinispan implement memcached?

jcrossley Jan 14, 2011 9:20 PM

Hi guys,

I'm working on TorqueBox, and I would love for our Rails apps to be able to cache their data in Infinispan. Because Rails has built-in support for memcached and because Infinispan implements memcached (awesome!), it seems like it should be easy. But I can't figure out how to tweak the AS6 config to "turn on memcached".

Assuming you can help me with that, I'm thinking the Rails app would configure itself to connect to the local memcached port, relying on infinispan to replicate the data to the other nodes in the cluster.

Am I out of my mind here? It'd be a huge win for us if we can make it work, especially if we don't have to write a lot of integration glue, and it doesn't seem like we would have to.

Thanks for the help!

Jim

Looking at AS 6, it appears that "Infinispan" only is enabled with the "all" config, and doesn't have the memcached library.

I guess what I would do is take a look at the Infinispan distro, identify the revelant memcache jar file, deploy it, and then write a BSH program to start/stop the listener. Run in the all config.

See this:

import ...;

public void start() { ... start up code } public void stop() {
... stop code
}
