ClassNotFoundException while using remote-store for hibernate entity cache

• configure hibernate cache, default cache is entity
• configure entity cache as invalidation-cache with remote-store
• deploying an application having @Cachable entities

-> you get:

The attached infinispan.zip conatins some changes to the module configuration
(module.xml's) in $JBOSS_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/org/infinispan. This
config changes are marked wih ALVARA an fix the problem for us.
