I'm trying to implement cache with spring 3.0
Here is the code that is relevant to the integration:
<bean id="cacheManager" class="net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager">
<constructor-arg index="0" type="java.net.URL" value="classpath:ehcache.xml"/>
</bean>
In application-context.xml file
I have a valid ehcache.xml file but it's never read since the application bombs before it gets there, the error I'm receiving is the following:
org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager] for bean with name 'cacheManager' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/application-context.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager

Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
