I would like to add some caching features to my JEE application running on OpenLiberty. I would rely on JCache API and Infinispan.
I understand that some OpenLiberty features could use some caching capabilities relying on this stack (session caching for example) but I just want to be able to manage my own cache to store my own datas.
I'm wondering if there is a way to enable the use of 'cache', 'cacheManager' and 'cachingProvider' configuration elements without enabling a feature that I don't need. I would expect a "cache" feature but it seems that it is always triggered by an other feature and cannot be enabled independently. Do I miss something ?
My last option will be to use Infinispan and JCache independently without relying on OpenLiberty cache configuration capabilities.
Regards.
Currently Liberty doesn't have a JCache feature for you to use natively. You will need to provide the JCache APIs and infinispan libraries in your application or in a library stanza in your server.xml that your applications references.
