Broadleaf Commerce Discussion Forums

Hi,

I 've noticed that Broadleaf libraries set a dependency for Ehcache 2.4.2 . In the environment that I am building and running Ehcache 2.5.1 is used. However I've noticed that switching to version 2.5.1 creates a strange duplicated cache exception.

Specifically I am seeing the following:

[artifact:mvn] org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'blCacheManager' defined in resource loaded from byte array: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is net.sf.ehcache.ObjectExistsException: Cache hydrated-cache already exists

"hydrated-cache" is created by EhcacheHydratedCacheManagerImpl class, which is invoked by HydratedCacheEventListenerFactory

This listener factory is attached to "blStandardElements" cache definition in bl-ehcache.xml descriptor. It's also included in "mycompany-override-ehcache.xml" archetype definition under quick-start/ecommerce-archetype and hence shows up in every generated project.

It seems that disabling cacheEventListenerFactory removes the problem. However, I am not quite sure what are the implications of that.

Can you please clarify, how is this suppose to function?

Any updates on this ? It's a very strange problem that I see with Ehcache v 2.5.1 and 2.5.2

+1, I'm hitting the same issue when upgrading ehcache.

I attempted to use ehcache 2.5.2 and ran into the same issues you are running into.

I've created an issue in JIRA which you can use to follow updates here: http://jira.broadleafcommerce.org/browse/BLC-599

Was this issue ever resolved ? I am still seeing this as of BLC 2.0.1 with Ehcache 2.5.0 and beyond . I am also noticing BLC 2.0.1 references Ehcache 2.4.2


The suggested solution at http://jira.broadleafcommerce.org/browse/BLC-599 does not seem to work for me:
<bean id="blCacheManager"
class="org.broadleafcommerce.common.extensibility.cache.ehcache.MergeEhCacheManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="shared" value="true"/>
</bean>

in main applicationContext.xml still produces the same container init error I reported earlier.

As a temporary solution for now, I implemented my own version of HydaratedCacheManager extending from BLC AbstractHydratedCacheManager and using BLC EhcacheHydratedCacheManagerImpl as an example:

Something like

public class MyHydratedCacheManagerImpl extends AbstractHydratedCacheManager {
private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(MyHydratedCacheManagerImpl.class);
private static final MyHydratedCacheManagerImpl MANAGER = new MyHydratedCacheManagerImpl();

private Map<String, List<String>> cacheMembersByEntity =
Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap<String, List<String>>(100));
private Cache heap;

/**
* Private constructor
*/
private MyHydratedCacheManagerImpl() {
if (CacheManager.getInstance().cacheExists("mystore-cache")) {
heap = CacheManager.getInstance().getCache("mystore-cache");
} else {
CacheConfiguration config = new CacheConfiguration("mystore-cache", 0).eternal(true).overflowToDisk(false).maxEntriesLocalHeap(100000);
Cache cache = new Cache(config);
CacheManager.create().addCache(cache);
heap = cache;
LOG.info("Initialized mystore-cache");
}
}
..................
}

I than overwrite the existing HydratedCacheManager in override-ehcache descriptor

At this point it's not clear if I am just masking the existing problem or providing a true solution to this problem.

Can you take a look at this pull request?

https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/Br ... ce/pull/15

I think this is the same issue you're having, but I'm not 100% sure. Would you mind testing it?

You should get the fix by simply changing your Broadleaf version to "2.0.2-SNAPSHOT" in your pom.xml

Thank you for your reply,

I'll definitely try this ASAP.
