Hi,

I would like to change the default behavior of Hibernate which stores objects in a second-level cache(I configured it to use net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheProvider) as a list of serializable attributes rather than plain objects. This results in unnecessary(for my specific purposes) instance creation each time I use Session.get() for the object state already in cache. How can I avoid this situation by telling Hibernate to store original objects in cache instead of serialized set of attributes?

Thanks,
Ilya

P.S.: On EhCache site I found the information below which doesn't help me much since it doesn't say what needs to be done to force Hibernate into using Object API of the EHCache:-(
