How to expose spring ehcache 2.8.2 to jmx

In this version ehcache statistics is enabled by default.

I am using ehcache as spring cache.

it's easy

find the place where you define your config
like 'net.sf.ehcache.config.Configuration config = new net.sf.ehcache.config.Configuration()'

in my case i use annotations therefore i got this line in the code, in your case, maybe defined as bean inside the xml .

add the following :
      'config.setMonitoring(net.sf.ehcache.config.Configuration.Monitoring.ON.name());'

Yeah i wondered too why it's not possible to give the enum only .. maybe in the next version... '

Worked for me .
