Both Ehcache 2 and 3 do support full blown XA, including crash recovery with all bells and whistles. For Ehcache 2, you should look for transactional mode "xa_strict" (see http://www.ehcache.org/documentation/2.8/apis/transactions.html) while in version 3 you should add a XAStoreConfiguration to your cache config (see http://www.ehcache.org/documentation/3.0/xa.html).
