Initialize SessionFactory with existing Hazelcast instance

Question

When my server first loads, it initializes Hazelcast and have an instance.

At a later point, it initializes Hibernate's SessionFactory configured to use Hazelcast has 2nd level cache.

The result is having 2 components that initializes HZ instances.

My question is: Is there a way to pass HZ instance to SessionFactory?

Thank you!

You can share your named hazelcast instance with Hibernate SessionFactory by using hibernate.cache.hazelcast.instance_name

Here is how to configure named hazelcast instance.

Config config = new Config();
config.setInstanceName( "my-named-hazelcast-instance" );

please check latest documentation for more info.

is there a way to set instance name in the xml configuration file?

I guess not, I read somewhere that it's only done via code to prevent confusion and misconfigurations.

You can set the instance-name through XML Configuration in 3.6 which is not released yet. github.com/hazelcast/hazelcast/blob/master/hazelcast/src/main/…

Nice! guess at this point I will wait for it to be released. Thanks!
