Configure Infinispan XML using <local-cache-configuration>:

<local-cache-configuration name="defaultCacheConfig">
 .. attributes go here ...
</local-cache-configuration>

<local-cache name="testCache1" configuration="defaultCacheConfig" />

"testCache1" does not inherit any attributes from "defaultCacheConfig".

org.infinispan.configuration.parsing.Parser80#getConfigurationBuilder finds and validates the supplied configuration, but does not actually apply it.
