How to invalidate cache inside a proxy in WSO2 ESB 6.6.0

Question

I would like to know how can I invalidate the cache created by the Cache Mediator just by calling a proxy.
According to the doc we can do that by using a JMX Monitoring tool. But we do not want to do something like this.

So I've made a custom mediator

import javax.cache.CacheException;
import javax.cache.Caching;

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.apache.synapse.MessageContext;
import org.apache.synapse.mediators.AbstractMediator;

public class CacheInvalidateMediator extends AbstractMediator
{
    private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(CacheInvalidateMediator.class);

    public boolean mediate(MessageContext synCtx)
    {
        try
        {
            Caching.getCacheManager("cacheManager").getCache("mediatorCache").removeAll();
            log.info("Total mediator cache has been invalidated.");
        }
        catch(CacheException cacheException)
        {
            throw new CacheException("Error occurred while invalidating mediator cache. " + cacheException);
        }
        return true;
    }
}

It works for EI 6.2.0 but now for EI 6.6.0 it is deprecated and I can't figure how to do the same thing now. Do you have any idea?

Regards.

EDIT

I tried to do an iteration on getCaches(). It seems that I do not have the right name for the cache manager.

public class CacheInvalidateMediator extends AbstractMediator { 
    private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(CacheInvalidateMediator.class);


    public boolean mediate(MessageContext context) { 
        try {
            log.info("JAVA REMOVING CACHE...");
            log.info(Caching.getCacheManager("cacheManager"));
            log.info(Caching.getCacheManager("cache"));
            Iterable<Cache<?, ?>> iterable1 = Caching.getCacheManagerFactory().getCacheManager("__default__").getCaches();
            log.info("iterate :");
            for(Cache<?, ?> cache : iterable1) {
                log.info("cache : "+cache.getName());
                cache.removeAll();
            }



            Iterable<Cache<?, ?>> iterable2 = Caching.getCacheManagerFactory().getCacheManager("cache").getCaches();
            log.info("iterate :");
            for(Cache<?, ?> cache : iterable2) {
                log.info("cache : "+cache.getName());
                cache.removeAll();
            }

            log.info("Total mediator cache has been invalidated.");

            log.info("JAVA CACHE INVALIDATE");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.info(e.toString());
        }
        return true;
    }
}

Based on github project , I've tried to use some constants, but anything seems to work.

The caching implementation was totally rewritten in the later releases. Hence using javax CacheManager to clear the cache would not work in EI 6.6.0. But still there is a MBean implementation to invalidate the cache. https://github.com/wso2/carbon-mediation/blob/master/components/mediators/cache/org.wso2.carbon.mediator.cache/src/main/java/org/wso2/carbon/mediator/cache/MediatorCacheInvalidator.java

You should try out an implementation to invoke this MBean to invalidate the cache.
