I managed to solve this problem. I am not using TreeCache via JMX, but I created an object of TreeCache, and using this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("treecache.xml"); I managed to get an input stream to treecache.xml, I then pass this stream to PropertyConfigurator and configure my cache object.
