Hi,
there is a nice tutorial about running Hazelcast on AWS/ECS with Spring ;-( ([Thank You - Hazelcast](https://hazelcast.com/thank-you/?resource_id=754808)). I now tried a whole day to get this running with Payara, too.
I opened ports 4900, 4901, 5701, add the hazelcast.yaml (as mentioned in the video) to the resource/META-INF directory of my WAR-application (where also the beans.xml lies). I also put the hazelcast-aws.jar into the “/modules/”-directory of hazelcast, so that it is in the classpath and available at start-time of Payara. I also put the dependency to hazelcast-all 4.2 into the application, but all this does not seem to have any effect
The only output I get when starting the ECS-Tasks with Payara is the following (concerning Hazelcast), which is, by the way, the same without the hazzle I did:
Registered fish.payara.ha.hazelcast.store.HazelcastBackingStoreFactoryProxy for persistence-type = hazelcast in BackingStoreFactoryRegistry|#]

I cannot believe, that this is such a complicated problem comparing to the easy Spring tutorial, where this is set up in minutes…
Thank you very much for any hint/advice/tutorial/example

Hi,
See [here](https://docs.payara.fish/community/docs/documentation/payara-server/hazelcast/configuration.html#setting-hazelcast-configuration-file) to set a configuration XML file within the domain (the config file must be within the domain and not within the application)
Regards
Rudy

Hi, thank you very much for your responds. Is the YAML-file just OK or do I have to “convert” it to the XML-version?

We pass the file to the `com.hazelcast.internal.config.ConfigLoader#load()` method which appears to only accept XML formatted files.
