Application Fails to Load after enabling jdbc based session persistence - redhat

Question

I am doing a POC with JBoss EAP 7.1 release wherein I have enabled db based session persistence, I have tested with the default cache manager persistence and it works well but somehow it doesn't stores any session data in the database schema, however the table gets created at the start of the server which I could see, for this I am starting with the sample counter.war which is present in the Redhat knowledge base. I am using Oracle 12cR1 database.
One more thing is , I am also not able to see the application from the console, same thing when I run the CLI command to read the resource. When I try to see the deployment under Deployments, it simly complains
Unable to load deployments
Unexpected HTTP response: 500 Request { "operation" => "read-children-resources", "address" => undefined, "child-type" => "deployment", "include-runtime" => true, "recursive" => true } Response Internal Server Error { "outcome" => "failed", "rolled-back" => true }
My server configuration in the standalone-ha.xml for the jdbc store is as below:
<cache-container name="server" aliases="singleton cluster" default-cache="default" module="org.wildfly.clustering.server">
<transport lock-timeout="60000"/>
<replicated-cache name="default">
<transaction mode="BATCH"/>
</replicated-cache>
</cache-container>
<cache-container name="web" default-cache="jdbc" module="org.wildfly.clustering.web.infinispan">
<transport channel="ee" lock-timeout="60000"/>
<local-cache name="concurrent">
<file-store passivation="true" purge="false"/>
</local-cache>
<invalidation-cache name="jdbc">
<binary-keyed-jdbc-store data-source="Session" dialect="ORACLE" fetch-state="false" passivation="false" preload="false" purge="false" shared="true" singleton="false">
<!-- <transaction mode="BATCH"/>-->
<property name="database-Type">
oracle
</property>
<binary-keyed-table prefix="sess">
<id-column name="ID" type="VARCHAR2(500)"/>
<data-column name="DATUM" type="BINARY"/>
<timestamp-column name="MAXINACTIVE" type="NUMBER"/>
<timestamp-column name="LASTACCESS" type="NUMBER"/>
<timestamp-column name="VERSION" type="NUMBER"/>
</binary-keyed-table>
</binary-keyed-jdbc-store>
</invalidation-cache>
</cache-container>
<cache-container name="ejb" aliases="sfsb" default-cache="dist" module="org.wildfly.clustering.ejb.infinispan">
<transport lock-timeout="60000"/>
<distributed-cache name="dist">
<locking isolation="REPEATABLE_READ"/>
<transaction mode="BATCH"/>
<file-store/>
</distributed-cache>
The table that gets created is also as below:
TNAME
TABTYPE CLUSTERID
BIN$cLKr2H7+eQ3gU1J2QgonwQ==$0
TABLE
SESS_counter_war
TABLE
sess_counter_war
TABLE
FYI, just for my satisfaction I tried by changing the prefix in the standalone-ha.xml so that's why two tables you could see.
Please guide me if I am doing something wrong.

Answer 1

This is quite a late reply almost a year after but as it is being said "Better Late than Never" :)
I managed to bring up the application successfully after some days of facing the error initially. I realized that there was some major issue in my configuration. Basically, I had the below problems:
Using distributed cache instead of invalidated cache.
Using binary store instead of string based store.
Invalid column and datatypes.

In EAP 7.1, you should configure session persistence using string-keyed-jdbc-store instead of using binary-keyed-jdbc-store which is deprecated in this version.
