Hazelcast need to be connected as client in the existing cluster instead of member - wildfly

Question

The changes which I made in server side:
#Bean(name = {"hazelcast"})
public HazelcastInstance hazelcastInstance() {
ClientConfig clientConfig = new ClientConfig();
clientConfig.getGroupConfig().setName(integrationSettings.getHazelcastClusterGroupName())
.setPassword(integrationSettings.getHazelcastClusterGroupPass());
final ClientNetworkConfig clientNetworkConfig = new ClientNetworkConfig();
clientNetworkConfig.addAddress("127.0.0.1:6701");
clientConfig.setNetworkConfig(clientNetworkConfig);
clientConfig.setInstanceName("INTEGRATION_INSTANCE");
final String hazelcastEnterpriseLicenseKey = null;
if (hazelcastEnterpriseLicenseKey != null) {
clientConfig.setLicenseKey(hazelcastEnterpriseLicenseKey);
}
return HazelcastClient.newHazelcastClient(clientConfig);
}
I will be getting my groupname and password from my property file.
My client side code:
ClientConfig clientConfig = new ClientConfig();
clientConfig.getGroupConfig().setName(hazelcastGroupName).setPassword(hazelcastGroupPwd);
clientConfig.getNetworkConfig().addAddress(serverAddress);
hazelcastInstance = HazelcastClient.newHazelcastClient(clientConfig);
My error log:

I need to connect my hazelcast as a client, but this bean exception is failing the deployments. Is there is any other way of doing it?

Answer 1

Looking at your code you are creating "Hazelcast-Client" on the server side and Client Side. In the server side code , please create a hazelcast ServerMember instance by passing "Config" object and not "ClientConfig" more like
#Bean
public HazelcastInstance hazelcastInstance() throws Exception {
Config cfg = new Config();
...
...
HazelcastInstance instance = Hazelcast.newHazelcastInstance(cfg);
return instance;
}
The the Hazelcast-client can connect to the Hazelcast ServerMember. You also need to ensure the ServerMember is started before client can connect to it.
