Trying to Autowire CacheManager and it throws Null Pointer. Essentially, like to use Spring's cache manager while actual implementation is by ehcache. The idea is to swap the actual cache provider in future that way writing to spring's interface. So, here is the configuration.

<bean id="cacheMgr" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheCacheManager">
 <property name="cacheManager">
    <bean class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManagerFactoryBean">
        <property name="configLocation" value="ehcache.xml"/>
        <property name="shared" value="true"/>
    </bean>
 </property>
</bean>

In the service class, trying to inject.

@Autowired
@Qualifier("cacheMgr")
private org.springframework.cache.CacheManager cacheMgr;

The problem is that "cacheMgr" is getting null. Not sure where the issue is.

What bean does the `cacheMgr` field belong to? Where do you declare that bean? Where do you use it? – Sotirios Delimanolis Jul 09 '14 at 16:09
You're going to have to provide more details. Start with what I previously asked for. – Sotirios Delimanolis Jul 09 '14 at 17:38
Are you using it in the constructor by any chance? You should probably autowire the constructor instead of the field. – Stephane Nicoll Jul 12 '14 at 15:24
