JBOSS Cache Factory creation error

[Swathi Kodeboyina]

Hi,

I am trying to create a JBOSS cache factory.

<bean id="jbossFactory" class="org.jboss.cache.DefaultCacheFactory"/>
	<bean id="jBCache" factory-bean="jbossFactory" factory-method="createCache">
		<constructor-arg value="configCache.xml"/>
</bean>

But i get an error telling that

Could not convert factory method argument value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [org.jboss.cache.config.Configuration]:
 Failed to convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [org.jboss.cache.config.Configuration]; 
nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [org.jboss.cache.config.Configuration]:
 no matching editors or conversion strategy found

Please shed some light on this.

Never used it myself.

It looks like Spring is confused and is matching your argument to the constructor that is expecting a Configuration object. It is trying to cast the String to a Configuration and is throwing an exception. Try to explicitly define the type of the argument.

<constructor-arg type="java.lang.String">
			<value>configCache.xml</value>
</constructor-arg>

Just some other stuff you might find useful:

I prefer using Java Config I think it is just much easier. Here is an example of that.

Here is an XML although the are defining the configuration object as a bean
