How can I switch among caching mechanisms at run time using Spring cache?

[wzhao6898]

Hi there,

I understand that I can set up spring such that I can use either a ConcurrentMap cache, or ehcache cache by swapping between these two configurations, like:

<bean id="cacheManager"
    class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheCacheManager"
    p:cacheManager-ref="ehcache"/>
...
<bean id="ehcache" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManagerFactoryBean"
    p:configLocation="ehcache.xml"
    p:shared="true"/>

or

<bean id="cacheManager" class="org.springframework.cache.support.SimpleCacheManager">
  <property name="caches">
 <set>
   <bean
             class="org.springframework.cache.concurrent.ConcurrentMapCacheFactoryBean"
             p:name="employee"/>
 </set>
  </property>
</bean>

but since the cacheManager is unique, if I want to include both of them in the configuration, I need to specify them in different profiles with names like: "concurrentManager", "ecacheManager", is there a way for me to switch between them at run time?
Thanks,

David

JMX probably worths a try.

I tried JMX but doesn't worked well enough. Elaborate if possible.
