Hmm. From 2.1.0.GA onwards, I can overload ConfigurationFactory.createCache(String, boolean) with createCache(InputStream, boolean) and createCache(URL, boolean). But for 2.0.0, you'd have to spin this by hand, unfortunately, doing something like the following: 1. Subclass org.jboss.cache.factories.XmlConfigurationParser and add a method to parse a URL. 2. In your method, call (protected) method XmlConfigurationParser.parseStream(InputStream is) 3. ... and get a hold of a Configuration object which you can then pass in to the ConfigurationFactory.
