Adding ehcahe CacheManager to Spring Sample failes

after I updated to new Shiro version from svn I cannot initialize and include org.apache.shiro.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManager to Security manager any more.
could you please describe how to do it. I cannot afford to use default "in memory" implementation
I use as example "Sample Shiro Spring". it just does not work and gives me NPE

how to reproduce: open sample project "Apache Shiro :: Samples :: Spring".
add library for org.apache.shiro.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManager (artifactId shiro-ehcache)
add to applicationContext.xml

<bean id="cacheManager" class="org.apache.shiro.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManager">
<property name="cacheManagerConfigFile" value="classpath:ehcache.xml"/>
</bean>

and add this cache manager to "jdbcRealm" bean
<property name="cacheManager" ref="cacheManager"/>

and get NPE on project run
