Hibernate version: 3.2.x (ehcache 1.2.3)
In my hibernate-configuration I use: org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider

In my application I provide information about the 2nd level cache directly from ehcache. But since hibernate3 I get only zero values. My code to get the caches is:
String[] cacheNames = CacheManager.getInstance().getCacheNames();
for (String cn : cacheNames) {
print(cn);
register(CacheManager.getInstance().getCache(cn));
}
The cachenames are correct, but it seems, that hibernate uses some different cache-objects?


Another problem is, that in testcases I shutdown the sessionfactory. For every cache I get the following exception (only Warning, but I want to get rid of them :-)

17:10:16,742 [main] WARN could not destroy UpdateTimestamps cache -- at org.hibernate.cache.UpdateTimestampsCache.destroy(UpdateTimestampsCache.java:101)

With net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheProvider as providerI get:

Sounds like you are having the configuration issue with the Ehcache.
It seems the status is not alive for your registered caches.

Provide some detail information, may be i can help you in this matter further.

Hi,
thank you for your help, meantime I've found solutions for my problems.
First I must use the net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.SingletonEhCacheProvider class, otherwise CacheManager.getInstance() won't get the current used cachemanager.

The other problem was that in testcases the sessionfactory was closed twice ...

bye
