Can I switch to another Coherence Grid in Java Extend?

Question

The scenario is I have two data grids, the name of the cache are same, but data in the cache is different. I programmed a Java Client (Extend) to the data grid, the Java client is using a configuration file configured to connect with one of the data grids, the connection is configured in remote-cache-scheme section. Every time When I want to connect my Java Client to another data grid, I have to stop the JVM of the client and modify the configuration file.
My question is can I switch to another data grid from my Java client without shutting down the Java Client's JVM and modify the configuration file? I noticed that in the caching-scheme-mapping section of client configuration, we can use the name to decide which grid to call, but in my case, the caches in both data grids has same name.

I use this sample code to connect to two or more proxy extend with the same cache name.
import com.tangosol.net.CacheFactory;
import com.tangosol.net.CacheFactoryBuilder;
import com.tangosol.net.ConfigurableCacheFactory;
import com.tangosol.net.NamedCache;
public class TestMultipleProxyAccess {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ClassLoader cl = TestMultipleProxyAccess.class.getClassLoader();
String cacheConfigA = "client-cache-config-a.xml";
String cacheConfigB = "client-cache-config-b.xml";
CacheFactoryBuilder builder = CacheFactory.getCacheFactoryBuilder();
ConfigurableCacheFactory ccfA = builder.getConfigurableCacheFactory(cacheConfigA, cl);
NamedCache ncA = ccfA.ensureCache("myCache", cl);
ConfigurableCacheFactory ccfB = builder.getConfigurableCacheFactory(cacheConfigB, cl);
NamedCache ncB = ccfB.ensureCache("myCache", cl);
}
