Answer 1

It's a debug-level exception from the EHCache UpdateChecker that fails to connect to the URL it uses to check for updates.

To get rid of the message, you can disable the update check, either

• by setting the net.sf.ehcache.skipUpdateCheck system property to true; or
• by adding the updateCheck="false" attribute to the root element of your ehcache.xml.
