When using org.grails.plugins:cache-ehcache:1.0.5 with Grails 2.4.4 I get the following stack trace when running the generated war file (I've tried grails dev war and grails prod war):

Interestingly, the plugin works just fine when using grails run-app. It looks like commit a1a99bd works around this issue, but it's not on the same branch as the 1.0.5 release.

I'd like to disable the update checker in a grails 3 application:

INFO net.sf.ehcache.util.UpdateChecker - New update(s) found: 2.4.7 [http://www.terracotta.org/confluence/display/release/Release+Notes+Ehcache+Core+2.4]. Please check http://ehcache.org for the latest version.

Is there a way to configure this in the application.yml?

System.setProperty("net.sf.ehcache.skipUpdateCheck", "true");

While generating lots of caches programmatically I receive this exception from the GrailsEhcacheManager on high load:

net.sf.ehcache.CacheException: Failed to get lock for <cache_identifier> cache creation
	at grails.plugin.cache.ehcache.GrailsEhcacheCacheManager.getOrCreateCache(GrailsEhcacheCacheManager.java:75)

Seems the 200ms hardcoded timeout could not be enough, if hundreds of caches are generated at the same time. Maybe add a config option to set the timeout?

Plugin source is updated to Grails 3, but there is no version released to Bintray yet.
A milestone or release candidate would be great, so it would be easier to try the plugin with Grails 3 and give feedback before a GA version.

The latest documentation I could find is for version 1.0.6-SNAPSHOT. I think there should be documentation (at least in the README) for the new 3.x versions of this plugin.

On the 1.x codeline, at application shutdown, we see this warning:

The web application [] appears to have started a thread named [grails-cache-ehcache] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak.

Changing the configuration of the bean in the plugin's doWithSpring resolves the issue, eg.

		ehcacheCacheManager(GrailsEhCacheManagerFactoryBean) {  bean ->
			cacheManagerName = ehcacheCacheManagerName
			configLocation = ehcacheConfigLocation
			rebuildable = reloadable
                        bean.destroyMethod = 'destroy'
		}

Will create a PR.

A lot of ifs here.
If you are stuck using grails 2.5.6 and hibernate 3.
and if you configure your dataSource to use ehcache

cache.region.factory_class = 'grails.plugin.cache.ehcache.hibernate.BeanEhcacheRegionFactory' // hib3 + ehcache

and if you have installed cache-ehcache

compile ':cache-ehcache:1.0.5'
runtime (":hibernate:3.6.10.18") {
    exclude 'ehcache-core'
}

You get the following error trying to start an application.

javax.management.MalformedObjectNameException: Invalid character ':' in value part of property

It is caused by code added in 2014 that allows setting a cacheManagerName.

CacheEhcacheGrailsPlugin.groovy

// customizable name for the cache manager
String ehcacheCacheManagerName = ehcacheConfig?.cacheManagerName

the ?. notation doesn't work well with these config objects, and the name is always set to
[:]

which ends up being illegal somewhere else way down the stack.
javax.management.MalformedObjectNameException: Invalid character ':' in value part of property

I think the code was added based on this blog post:
https://technology.first8.nl/fix-cachemanager-with-same-name-grails-cache-ehcache/

The problem is now that cacheManagerName becomes a REQUIRED property to be set in the config object.

Hopefully no one else in the world is stuck on grails 2.5.6 with hibernate 3 (because of compass), but if they are, maybe a google search will end up here.

I'm trying to implement this plugin but I'm not able to get it working. It would really help to have a minimal grails 3 application that has a working example in it. In particular I'd like to see a working ehcache.xml file.

My particular issue is, although I can see the XML config is loaded and my cache names are also loaded, I'm not actually getting caching for my annotated methods (method internals are run every time). This was working fine in Grails 2 with the older plugin.

Attempting to search for ehcache xml configuration at classpath:ehcache.xml
Configuration found at classpath:ehcache.xml
Using provided configuration
Cache names: [longTermCache, outageCache, shortTermCache]

When the GrailsEhcacheCacheManager cannot find the requested cache it creates a default cache with it's own defined configuration setting heap(10).

if the application's ehcache configuration has defined a cache-template, the GrailsEhcacheCacheManager should use that configuration in preference. The application should be able to define what it wants as a default configuration.

The default of 10 heap entries came as a surprise to us when our Cacheable method wasn't performing as expected. Nowhere in the documentation does it state that the plugin will default to 10 entries when an explicit config for the cache is not defined. The documentation states "By default, the only provided configuration strategy supports reading an XML file to configure Ehcache." so it is reasonable for a developer to assume that the cache-template directives in the XML will also be obeyed.

to reproduce:

• create new grails 3.2.4 app
• configure deps accordingly
• run app

expected behavior

• app should run properly

example app
https://github.com/aaporjr/grails-cache-ehcache-NoClassDefFoundError

Integration tests fails to run in applications with cache-ehcache installed.

Steps to reproduce:

1. $ grails create-app testapp
2. $ cd testapp
3. $ grails create-integration-test Foo
4. Add dependency to build.gradle: compile "org.grails.plugins:cache-ehcache:2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT"
5. $ ./gradlew integrationTest

Results in:

testapp.FooSpec > test something FAILED
    java.lang.IllegalStateException
        Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException
            Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException
    java.lang.IllegalStateException at FooSpec.groovy:-1

Running ./gradlew integrationTest --debug reveals that the problem is mbeanServer:

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'mbeanServer' is defined

Tested with Grails 3.1.10

Very similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36677195/possible-issue-with-ehcache-plugin-on-grails-3

Where is the documentation page for grails cache-ehcache 1.0.101?
@burtbeckwith @jeffbrown

I can see the plugin has been updated yesterday and as of yesterday I can no longer load app up locally or in tomcat with the ehcache-plugin

build line: (the commented lines was previous hack)

compile ("org.grails.plugins:cache-ehcache:3.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT") {
       // exclude group:'net.sf.ehcache'
    }
    //compile "net.sf.ehcache:ehcache:2.4.3"

But since this release is also 3.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT means all versions of my code is broke. Meaning I rolled back thinking what has changed.

Comparing the results of jar files produced. This is a new file that did not exist in older produced jar files:

ehcache-3.3.1.jar

Any advice on how to fix would be appreciated
