Spring Ehcache MBean Monitoring

I am using Spring 4.0.3.RELEASE and EHcache 2.8.1. on JBoss 7.1.1

With the following configuration in applicationContext.xml my caching is working good.

<cache:annotation-driven/>

<bean id="cacheManager" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheCacheManager">
   <property name="cacheManager" ref="ehcache"/>
</bean>

<bean id="ehcache" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManagerFactoryBean">
   <property name="configLocation" value="/WEB-INF/ehcache.xml"/>
</bean>

Now I want to add the monitoring capabilities with MBean. I changed the configuration in applicationContext.xml as follows – added 2 new beans “managementService” and “mbeanServer”, no other change. This is the current configuration.

<cache:annotation-driven/>

<bean id="managementService"
        class="net.sf.ehcache.management.ManagementService"
        init-method="init"
        destroy-method="dispose">

        <constructor-arg ref="cacheManager"/>
        <constructor-arg ref="mbeanServer"/>
        <constructor-arg index="2" value="true"/>
        <constructor-arg index="3" value="true"/>
        <constructor-arg index="4" value="true"/>
        <constructor-arg index="5" value="true"/>
 </bean>

<bean id="cacheManager" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheCacheManager">
   <property name="cacheManager" ref="ehcache"/>
</bean>

<bean id="ehcache" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManagerFactoryBean">
   <property name="configLocation" value="/WEB-INF/ehcache.xml"/>
</bean>    

<bean id="mbeanServer" class="org.springframework.jmx.support.MBeanServerFactoryBean">
    <property name="locateExistingServerIfPossible" value="true"/>
</bean>

With this configuration I get the following error on application server start up.
