Per-region level 2 cache configuration is ignored in JBoss EAP

Environment

• Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
  • 7
  • 6
• Hibernate
  • 5
  • 4
• Infinispan
  • 8
  • 5

Issue

• A custom cache template is configured in the [standalone*|domain].xml

      <local-cache name="entity-region-config1">
          ...
      </local-cache>
  

• One or more cache regions are mapped to this configuration via the persistence.xml

  <persistence-unit name="MyPersistenceUnit" transaction-type="JTA">
      ...
      <properties>
          ...
          <!--
               property name format: hibernate.cache.infinispan.<prefix>.<region>.cfg
               prefix defaults to:   <deployment>#<unitname>, overridden by the hibernate.cache.region_prefix property
               region defaults to:   <package.entity>, overridden via @Cache(... region="region-name")
          -->
          <property name="hibernate.cache.infinispan.abcd.org.myco.MyEntity.cfg" value="entity-region-config1"/>
          ...
      </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
  

• Properties specified in the cache template are ignored and configuration seems to come from the hibernate cache container's entity template.
