How to configure Simple Spring Memcached to work with Couchbase

Question

I'm developing a Spring MVC application, and I'd like to set up caching using Simple Spring Memcached (SSM) with a Couchbase backend.

I have setup a working couchbase install locally, with a memcache bucket "default". I can connect and use the Couchbase Java API in a test project.

However, when using the SSM annotations within my Spring MVC project I get timeout exceptions. I'm fairly confident that the issue lies with my SSM configuration:

<bean name="defaultMemcachedClient" class="com.google.code.ssm.CacheFactory">
    <property name="cacheClientFactory">
        <bean name="cacheClientFactory" class="com.google.code.ssm.providers.spymemcached.MemcacheClientFactoryImpl" />
    </property>
    <property name="addressProvider">
        <bean class="com.google.code.ssm.config.DefaultAddressProvider">
            <property name="address" value="127.0.0.1:8091" />
        </bean>
    </property>
    <property name="configuration">
        <bean class="com.google.code.ssm.providers.CacheConfiguration">
            <property name="consistentHashing" value="true" />
        </bean>
    </property>
</bean>

Notice it makes no mention of the "default" bucket, or of any authentication parameters. I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to configure SSM to work with specific couchbase buckets in this way.

Any help?

If you are only using the SSM (Memcached) you need to connect to the memcached port, which is 11211 instead of 8091.
