CacheException: Another unnamed CacheManager already exists in the same VM
Asked on March 16, 2015
Hi Friends,
I am configuring spring and ehcache using @Configuration annotation with @EnableCaching. I am getting a strange error. Please help me. Find the error.
Caused by: net.sf.ehcache.CacheException: Another unnamed CacheManager already exists in the same VM. Please provide unique names for each CacheManager in the config or do one of following:
1. Use one of the CacheManager.create() static factory methods to reuse same CacheManager with same name or create one if necessary
2. Shutdown the earlier cacheManager before creating new one with same name.
The source of the existing CacheManager is: DefaultConfigurationSource [ ehcache.xml or ehcache-failsafe.xml ]

Post your configuration class.

My configuration class is
@Configurable
@EnableCaching
public class CacheConfig {
@Bean
public Person getPerson(){
return new Person();
}
@Bean
public CacheManager getCacheManager(){
return new EhCacheCacheManager(getEhCacheFactory().getObject());
}
@Bean
public EhCacheManagerFactoryBean getEhCacheFactory(){
EhCacheManagerFactoryBean factoryBean = new EhCacheManagerFactoryBean();
factoryBean.setConfigLocation(new ClassPathResource("ehcache.xml"));
return factoryBean;
}
}

If creating instance of EhCacheManagerFactoryBean is not shared across classloader, we get the error as you mentioned. We need to make it singleton. Spring provides setShared() method using which we can make it shared by passing value true. Do the changes as
@Bean
public EhCacheManagerFactoryBean getEhCacheFactory(){
EhCacheManagerFactoryBean factoryBean = new EhCacheManagerFactoryBean();
factoryBean.setConfigLocation(new ClassPathResource("ehcache.xml"));
factoryBean.setShared(true);
return factoryBean;
}
@Bean
public EhCacheManagerFactoryBean getEhCacheFactory(){
EhCacheManagerFactoryBean factoryBean = new EhCacheManagerFactoryBean();
factoryBean.setConfigLocation(new ClassPathResource("ehcache.xml"));
factoryBean.setShared(true);
return factoryBean;
}
