If I dont have ehcache.xml in my classpath, everything works fine and the default settings of the cache is used. However, when I add ehcache.xml to my classpath, it complains saying that name is not an allowed attribute for <cache>

I did search the forums for this exception and could not find any help.

Any thoughts ?

Hibernate version:
3.0

Mapping documents:
my ehcache.xml looks like
<cache name="<classname>"
maxElementsInMemory="10000"
eternal="false"
timeToIdleSeconds="120"
timeToLiveSeconds="120"
overflowToDisk="true"
/>

Name and version of the database you are using:
does not matter, I guess

actually the error was due to a typo error. It works fine now. Sorry to bother you guys.
