We use EHCache as the cache provider for hibernate in our enterprise application. We're on the Hibernate 3.2.5 GA and EHCache 1.2.4 release. Besides EHCache as a cache provider for hibernate, we are also thinking of using the RMI Distributed Caching feature of EHCache for synching hibernate's second level cache accross a cluster.

EHCache 1.6 was recently released with huge performance improvements. We would like to upgrade to 1.6 to leverage the performance improvements.

Do you foresee a problem with using the latest ehcache 1.6 with hibernate 3.2.5? If yes, then instead is it recommended with the latest release - hibernate 3.3.2 (June 09)?

Thanks
