Chapter 1. Using Embedded Caches Embed Data Grid caches directly in your project for in-memory data storage. 1.1. Adding the EmbeddedCacheManager Bean Configure your application to use embedded caches. Procedure Add infinispan-spring-boot3-starter-embedded to your project's classpath to enable Embedded mode. Use the Spring @Autowired annotation to include an EmbeddedCacheManager bean in your Java configuration classes, as in the following example: private final EmbeddedCacheManager cacheManager; @Autowired public YourClassName(EmbeddedCacheManager cacheManager) { this.cacheManager = cacheManager; } You are now ready to use Data Grid caches directly within your application, as in the following example: cacheManager.getCache("testCache").put("testKey", "testValue"); System.out.println("Received value from cache: " + cacheManager.getCache("testCache").get("testKey")); 1.2. Using the reactive mode with Reactor Starting with Spring 6.1, reactive mode is supported to make use of caching within reactive applications. If you use spring-boot-starter-webflux , your application may block. To enable the Data Grid reactive driver, specify the following property in application.properties : infinispan.embedded.reactive=true 1.3. Cache Manager Configuration Beans You can customize the Cache Manager with the following configuration beans: InfinispanGlobalConfigurer InfinispanCacheConfigurer Configuration InfinispanConfigurationCustomizer InfinispanGlobalConfigurationCustomizer Note You can create one InfinispanGlobalConfigurer bean only. However you can create multiple configurations with the other beans. InfinispanCacheConfigurer Bean @Bean public InfinispanCacheConfigurer cacheConfigurer() { return manager -> { final Configuration ispnConfig = new ConfigurationBuilder() .clustering() .cacheMode(CacheMode.LOCAL) .build(); manager.defineConfiguration("local-sync-config", ispnConfig); }; } Configuration Bean Link the bean name to the cache that it configures, as follows: @Bean(name = "small-cache") public org.infinispan.configuration.cache.Configuration smallCache() { return new ConfigurationBuilder() .read(baseCache) .memory().size(1000L) .memory().evictionType(EvictionType.COUNT) .build(); } @Bean(name = "large-cache") public org.infinispan.configuration.cache.Configuration largeCache() { return new ConfigurationBuilder() .read(baseCache) .memory().size(2000L) .build(); } Customizer Beans @Bean public InfinispanGlobalConfigurationCustomizer globalCustomizer() { return builder -> builder.transport().clusterName(CLUSTER_NAME); } @Bean public InfinispanConfigurationCustomizer configurationCustomizer() { return builder -> builder.memory().evictionType(EvictionType.COUNT); } 1.4. Enabling Spring Cache Support With both embedded and remote caches, Data Grid provides an implementation of Spring Cache that you can enable. Procedure Add the @EnableCaching annotation to your application. If the Data Grid starter detects the: EmbeddedCacheManager bean, it instantiates a new SpringEmbeddedCacheManager . RemoteCacheManager bean, it instantiates a new SpringRemoteCacheManager . Reference Spring Cache Reference

Commands:
private final EmbeddedCacheManager cacheManager; @Autowired public YourClassName(EmbeddedCacheManager cacheManager) { this.cacheManager = cacheManager; }
cacheManager.getCache("testCache").put("testKey", "testValue"); System.out.println("Received value from cache: " + cacheManager.getCache("testCache").get("testKey"));
infinispan.embedded.reactive=true
@Bean public InfinispanCacheConfigurer cacheConfigurer() { return manager -> { final Configuration ispnConfig = new ConfigurationBuilder() .clustering() .cacheMode(CacheMode.LOCAL) .build(); manager.defineConfiguration("local-sync-config", ispnConfig); }; }
@Bean(name = "small-cache") public org.infinispan.configuration.cache.Configuration smallCache() { return new ConfigurationBuilder() .read(baseCache) .memory().size(1000L) .memory().evictionType(EvictionType.COUNT) .build(); } @Bean(name = "large-cache") public org.infinispan.configuration.cache.Configuration largeCache() { return new ConfigurationBuilder() .read(baseCache) .memory().size(2000L) .build(); }
@Bean public InfinispanGlobalConfigurationCustomizer globalCustomizer() { return builder -> builder.transport().clusterName(CLUSTER_NAME); } @Bean public InfinispanConfigurationCustomizer configurationCustomizer() { return builder -> builder.memory().evictionType(EvictionType.COUNT); }
