Based on your scheduler settings, the service should be invoked once in every 2 hours. This is exactly what's happening in the log above, so that's fine. BUT! In your ''ehcache.xml'' the cache content lives for 14400 secs (that is 4 hours). So even if the service is invoked by scheduler, that will return the same cached object for 2 iterations! (However, it should happen only twice, for the third try, you should get a new result... Don't really understand.) Anyway, could you try setting diskPersistent="false" and timeToLiveSeconds=''3600" (1 hour) in your ehcache.xml and restart the container?
