Mule EHCache is throwing exception in Mule standalone

Question

I have a Mule application that uses Mule EHCache Scope .. I have taken reference from the following :- http://ricston.com/blog/cache-scope-ehcache/ Now if you look at the comment section of the article it is mentioned to place the EHCache jars (ehcache-core-2.6.0.jar) inside $MULE_HOME/lib/user of Mule Standalone and incase of Mule Studio place them to $MULE_STUDIO_INSTALL_DIR/plugins/org.mule.tooling.server.$version/mule/lib/user ... Now I have followed exactly what it said..

In Mule studio the application is running fine without any issue .. But if I try to deploy and run in Mule enterprise 3.5.1 Standalone .. I get following exception :-

org.mule.module.launcher.DeploymentInitException: Error: Unresolved compilation problems:

Now I have place the ehcache-core-2.6.5.jar in $MULE_HOME/lib/user of Mule Standalone .. Still getting the exception .. Please help

Answer 1

I ended up putting the ehcache-core-2.6.5.jar in the lib folder in the project and and then it was working as usual .. but still putting the same jar file of standalone doesn't work
