Play 2.2 tests failed with exception 'The play Cache is not alive (STATUS_SHUTDOWN)'

When I run my tests, this error throws out immediately after 1st test. I guess it is because Play is using CacheManager.create(ehcacheXml) which only creates one instance per application.

[error]     IllegalStateException: The play Cache is not alive (STATUS_SHUTDOWN) (Cache.java:4267)

How to configure play to use multi-instances ehcache?

Here is my test:

abstract class WithCleanTestData extends WithApplication(FakeApplication(
  additionalConfiguration = TestConf.getConf.toMap
  )) {
  override def around[T: AsResult](t: => T): Result = super.around {
    prepareDbWithData()
    t
  }
  def prepareDbWithData() = {
  }
}

object MyTest extends PlaySpecification {

  "test api" should {
    class MyCtrl() extends Controller with MyControler

    "post data 1" in new WithCleanTestData {
      val myControler = new MyCtrl()
      val ret: Future[SimpleResult] = myControler.method().apply(FakeRequest())
      .....
    }

    "post data 2" in new WithCleanTestData {
      val myControler = new MyCtrl()
      val ret: Future[SimpleResult] = myControler.method().apply(FakeRequest())
      .....
    }
  }
}

      element.setTimeToLive(expiration)

      Option(cache.get(key)).map(_.getObjectValue)

    def remove(key: String) {
      cache.remove(key)
    }
  }

Based on johanandren's post I made this work around for Java,

play.Play.application().plugin(EhCachePlugin.class).cache().flush();

This is added in our test base class in @After.
