Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:
log4j.properties->org.hibernate.cache=DEBUG

My synthetic keyed class hits, my assigned key classes don't. The synth are tables from my app, the assigned are legacy from the same database. All usage classes cache, according to
logs, but ony the synth hits. These are read-only objects for dropdown menus etc.

I have not specified an ehcache.xml file. Is ehcache.xml mandatory? Does ehcache support assigned keys out of the box?

Thanks!

I had enabled query caching in my hibernate config,
but HibernateTemplate has CacheQueries false by default.

Setting getHibernateTemplate().setCacheQueries(true);
before querying shows hits in the log.

I would still be interested in whether the ehcache.xml is necessary or
the defaults are acceptable?

Where do you put this file in your package heirarchy assuming you put your mappings in a package called org.x.hibernate.mappings?


Thanks!
