Another unnamed CacheManager already exists in the same VM (ehCache 2.5)

Question

This is what happens when I run my junit tests...

Another CacheManager with same name \'cacheManager\' already exists in the same VM. Please 
provide unique          


        

Answer 1

Setting the EhCacheManagerFactoryBean#shared to true worked for me.

Setting the EhCacheManagerFactoryBean#acceptExisting to true DIDN'T work for me.

import org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheCacheManager;
import org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManagerFactoryBean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;

@Configuration
public class EhCacheConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public EhCacheCacheManager ehCacheCacheManager() {

        return new EhCacheCacheManager(ehCacheManagerFactoryBean().getObject());
    }


    @Bean
    public EhCacheManagerFactoryBean ehCacheManagerFactoryBean() {

        EhCacheManagerFactoryBean cacheManagerFactoryBean = new EhCacheManagerFactoryBean();

        cacheManagerFactoryBean.setConfigLocation(new ClassPathResource("ehcache.xml"));
        cacheManagerFactoryBean.setShared(true);

        return cacheManagerFactoryBean;
    }
}
