Ehcache shutdown causing an exception while running test suite

try to set shared property to false in EhCacheManagerFactoryBean or EhCacheCacheManager in the testing context.

Make a seperate cache config for tests only! and put scope "prototype"

@Configuration@EnableCachingpublic class EhCacheConfig { @Bean(name = "cacheManager") @Scope("prototype") public CacheManager getCacheManager() {    return new EhCacheCacheManager(getEhCacheFactory().getObject()); } @Bean @Scope("prototype") public EhCacheManagerFactoryBean getEhCacheFactory() {    EhCacheManagerFactoryBean factoryBean = new EhCacheManagerFactoryBean();    factoryBean.setConfigLocation(new ClassPathResource("ehcache.xml"));    factoryBean.setShared(true);    return factoryBean; }}

This issue occurs basically, Whenever you Cache shared among multiple applications. So try not to share your cache by setting shared property to false.

<spring:bean id="ehcache" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManagerFactoryBean"> <spring:property name="configLocation" value="classpath:ehcache.xml" /> <spring:property name="shared" value="false" /> </spring:bean>

But on execution you will encounter

Another CacheManager with same name 'cacheManager' already exists in the same VM. IllegalStateException

To counter this we need to mention

<spring:property name="cacheManagerName" value="abc" />

I hope finally issue will be resolved.
