Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:

Hi guys,

I was trying to upgrade from 2.1.7 to 2.1.8 and got the above error. Pls help, I think is the configuration error and part of my applicationContext.xml is like below:

<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">net.sf.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">false</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.cglib.use_reflection_optimizer">true</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.cache.provider_class">net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.Provider</prop>
<prop key="cache.use_query_cache">false</prop>
<prop key="cache.use_minimal_puts">false</prop>
</props>
</property>

Thanks !

use the ehcacheprovider from hibernate and not the one in ehcache.

net.sf.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider

Hi,

did u mean :

<prop key="hibernate.cache.provider_class">net.sf.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider</prop>

Thanks !
