Scoping the toplink cache to application

Question

Hi all, per Active Cache guide, the cache configuration can be scoped at the application level. This is what I am trying to do.
I have created shared libraries for coherence.jar, active-cahe jar and toplinkgrid jar and am including them in my application's weblogic-application.xml as library reference. The idea is that the cluster will be scoped within my application class loader.
Now, the next part is also to scope the cache configuration in my application. I have also created a JAR file which contains the cache configuration xml file and have created a shared library and included it as above.
However, with this, the log out put is as below
<Sep 16, 2010 11:11:22 AM CST> <Notice> <Stdout> <BEA-000000> <2010-09-16 11:11:22.391/691.970 Oracle Coherence GE 3.5.3/465p2 <Info> (thread=[STANDBY] ExecuteT
hread: '3' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)', member=n/a): Loaded cache configuration from "zip:D:/Oracle/Middleware11.1.1.3/coherence_3.5/lib/
coherence.jar!/reports/report-group.xml">
I have also tried placing the configuration JAR file in the application EAR file lib directory. I still get the above log statement.
So, the question is, how do I make coherence pick up my application scoped configuration. I read the Active Cache documentation, but I am not clear about this part.
Thanks.

You can use the system propety -Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig
to tell coherence which cache configuration you want to use, for example
-Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=<location>/hibernate-cache-config.xml
