hibernate - Grails 2.5 & SpringAcl: aclCacheManager bean not accessible -

after migrating 2.4.x last 2.5.0 release, i've changed params hibernate in datasource:

cache.region.factory_class = 'org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.singletonehcacheregionfactory' 

and config.groovy:

grails.cache.enabled = true grails.cache.clearatstartup = true grails.hibernate.cache.queries = false beans.cachemanager.cachemanagername = 'springcachecachemanager' beans.cachemanager.shared = true 

in resources.groovy, ehcache bean set this:

ehcache(ehcachefactorybean) { bean ->         cachemanager = ref("springcachecachemanager")         cachename = "cache"         eternal = false         shared = true         diskpersistent = false         memorystoreevictionpolicy = "lru"         maxentrieslocalheap = "10000"         timetoidleseconds = "120"         timetoliveseconds = "120"         maxentrieslocaldisk = "10000000"         diskexpirythreadintervalseconds = "120"      } 

then, issue springaclservice aclcachemanager appears @ bootstrap:

i encountered same issue trying upgrade grails 2.4.3 -> 2.5.0.

i think problem stems changes in way new hibernate/cache plugins create cachemanager. discussions here, here , here, looks newer versions (i.e. used in grails 2.5.0) not permit multiple unnamed cache managers, spring-security-acl plugin not able create own manager once hibernate cachemanager created.

i have thought naming hibernate cachemanager fix problem (like you've done), no dice.

my temporary (untested) workaround add following application's resources.groovy:

 aclcachemanager(org.springframework.cache.ehcache.ehcachemanagerfactorybean) {   shared = true 

}

i don't know if means acl plugin share same cache manager hibernate, i'm not fussed caching right i'm happy long application running.

try , see how on.
