How to clear ehcache without server restart
caching, ehcache, java, tomcat5.5
Solution
Do you expose Ehcache via JMX? Then you could clear the cache using JMX operations by using a tool like e.g. jvisualvm. Look for MBeans like `net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager` which provide a `clearAll()` operation.
Problem
Though I guess its highly unlikely - but is there any way to clear the ehcache without restarting the server? I need to clear the cache for some testing - I cannot change the code and cannot afford to restart server at multiple times. PS: I am using apache-tomcat-5.5.25 Please let me know. Thanks, psvm
