= Setting Up the RemoteCacheManager

. Provide the location for the {brandname} server so the starter can create the `RemoteCacheManager` bean.
+
The starter first tries to find the server location in
`hotrod-client.properties` and then from `application.properties`.
+
. Use the Spring `@Autowired` annotation to include your own custom cache manager class in your application:
+
[source,java,options="nowrap"]
----
include::code_examples/AutowiredRemoteCacheManager.java[]
----

.Hot Rod client properties

Specify client configuration in `hotrod-client.properties` on your classpath,
for example:

[source,text,options=nowrap]
----
include::config_examples/hotrod-client.properties[]
----

.Application properties

Configure your project with `application.properties`. See link:#sb_starter_properties[Application Properties] for more information.
