You need to make sure Ignite is started *before* SpringCacheManager. Basically, you have two options:
1. Start Ignite manually using Ignition.start, and then start Spring app with SpringCacheManager that references already started Ignite via 'igniteInstanceName' property. 2. Incorporate IgniteConfiguration into Spring config as a separate bean, and reference it in SpringCacheManager via 'configuration' property. In this case SpringCacheManager will take care of starting Ignite, so you don't need to use Ignition.start(). If Ignite is used ONLY for Spring caching, option 2 might be more convenient. Otherwise, option 1 makes more sense. Hope this helps. -Val -- Sent from: http://apache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com/
