I am a newbie to hibernate framework as a whole. I have a requirement to redirect the hibernate caching mechanism into a subframework.

I have written custom cache providers for the first level and second level caching.

The problem is:
<b> When the When the session factory is built then the FirstLevelCacheProviderWrapper is initialized instead of SecondLevelCacheProviderWrapper. Also the SecondLevelCacheProviderWrapper never does get initialized.
Please help me with this as I am having a terrible time figuring out why this is happening. </b>

My Hibernate Configuration for caching is something like this.

<property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class">
core.wrappers.SecondLevelCacheProviderWrapper
</property>

<property name="cache.provider_class">
core.wrappers.FirstLevelCacheProviderWrapper
</property>

<property name="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class">
org.hibernate.cache.impl.bridge.RegionFactoryCacheProviderBridge
</property>

<property name="hibernate.cache.use_structured_entries">
true
</property>

<property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache">
true
</property>

<property name="hibernate.cache.region_prefix">
enterprise
</property>

<property name="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.cache.query_cache_factory">
org.hibernate.cache.StandardQueryCacheFactory
</property>

I am using Hibernate 3.2.0 / 3.2.2 now I have upgraded to 3.2.5 GA
