In other words, is there any way to configure the default element attributes for a region programmatically?

It has been unit tested and it works fine. A second group develops another java library, component2.jar, which also uses JCS and bundles cache.ccf within the jar file. It has been unit tested and it works fine. An application requires to use component1.jar and component2.jar but now there are two cache.ccf and only one is being loaded. The regions used by the second component are created with the default cache and element attributes found in the first cache.ccf. Only the first call to JCS.setConfigFilename( file ) has effect. Extracting cache.ccf from the jars and creating a single file is not a viable solution if JCS is used in many more components or subsystems. For example, another application may make use of component2.jar and component5.jar ...besides, there is no way to guarantee that anyone knows all places where JCS is used - and loaded from the same class loader . What have you do to go around this? Has anybody have had the same problem? I have tried to create a CacheFactory but the JCS class allows to specify the cache attributes on the getInstance( regionName, ICacheAtributes) method, but it does not allow to specify the default element attributes for this region. The default elements attributes are applied but from the first config file.( jcs.properties file in my code) Any help is appreciated. -Jorge import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Properties; import org.apache.jcs.JCS; import org.apache.jcs.access.exception.CacheException; import org.apache.jcs.engine.CompositeCacheAttributes; import org.apache.jcs.engine.ElementAttributes; import org.apache.jcs.config.PropertySetter; public class CacheFactory { private CacheFactory() { } // clazz is used to find the the location of jcs.properties (instead of /cache.ccf ) for the region. // Each developer would use a class in their own package.
