I'm trying to reach the same cache from two different webapps running on the same Tomcat.

The first time it starts I'm registering with the following code:

{code}

jbossCache = new DefaultCacheFactory().createCache(configFile);
cacheJmxWrapper = new CacheJmxWrapper(jbossCache);

ObjectInstance oi = mBeanServer.registerMBean(cacheJmxWrapper, on);

// tryied this way too:

//JmxRegistrationManager jmxRegManager = new  JmxRegistrationManager(mBeanServer, jbossCache, on);
//jmxRegManager.registerAllMBeans();

               
log.info("Cache started. MBean objName: " + oi.getObjectName());

{code}

I try to get a reference through JMX with this code:

{code}

mBeanServer = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();

cacheJmxWrapper =
                        (CacheJmxWrapperMBean) MBeanServerInvocationHandler.newProxyInstance(mBeanServer, on,
                        CacheJmxWrapperMBean.class, false);

Object o;   // just to show the issue
o = cacheJmxWrapper.getCache();

{code}

I receive the following exception from the last line:

{code}

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jboss.cache.invocation.CacheInvocationDelegate cannot be cast to org.jboss.cache.Cache
        at $Proxy17.getCache(Unknown Source)

{code}

I tried several different methods to register/get reference.

Am I missing a point or is it a bug?

As I read JNDI would be a workaroun but can't find proper description how to setup (and setting on production server would be a bit complicated because of restricted access). I there any other way to reach the same cache from different webapps?
