EhCacheInterceptor initialized with null cache under high load

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Run the attached testcase. It illustrates the problem. Every time "GOT ONE!!" 
is printed to the console, the problem has manifested itself

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When using DefaultCacheResolverFactory with createCaches set to true in a high 
load scenario it can happen that multiple threads will try and create a non 
existing cache in parallel. In this case the EhCacheInterceptor should still be 
initialized properly but this is not always the case. We where seeing the 
following exception in the logs :
