A working implementation of jbrookover's answer:

import net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager;
import net.sf.ehcache.Element;
import net.sf.ehcache.Cache;

public class EHCacheDemo  {
    public static final void main(String[] igno_red)  {
        CacheManager cchm = CacheManager.getInstance();

        //Create a cache
        cchm.addCache("test");

        //Add key-value pairs
        Cache cch = cchm.getCache("test");
        cch.put(new Element("tarzan", "Jane"));
        cch.put(new Element("kermit", "Piggy"));

        //Retrieve a value for a given key
        Element elt = cch.get("tarzan");
        String sPartner = (elt == null ? null : elt.getObjectValue().toString());

        System.out.println(sPartner);  //Outputs "Jane"

        //Required or the application will hang
        cchm.removeAllCaches();  //alternatively: cchm.shutdown();
    }
}
