Hibernate version: 3.3.0 SP1

Hi all,

I'm trying to get Hibernate 3 to work using JBoss Cache 2 as the second level cache provider. According to the documentation, the provider class to specify via hibernate.cache.provider_class is org.hibernate.cache.jbc2.JBossCacheRegionFactory.

One snag with this: JBossCacheRegionFactory does not implement the CacheProvider interface, so it cannot be instantiated if configured like any other 2nd level cache provider.

Is there a different configuration mechanism when using JBoss Cache 2 as a second level cache provider with Hibernate 3, or does it plain not work?

Thanks and regards,

Got some help over in the JBoss Cache forum. Looks like contrary to the Hibernate documentation, you do not specify a cache provider (via hibernate.cache.provider_class) as the documentation might lead you to believe. Instead, you use the hibernate.cache.region.factory_class property, specifying a value of org.hibernate.cache.jbc2.MultiplexedJBossCacheRegionFactory.

It would be interesting to understand the decisions leading to breaking with the existing convention.

hi Doug,

could you link to the jboss thread where you got help? I've been having lots of trouble getting jboss cache working under hibernate... Mostly I'm having trouble because I keep coming across threads for older configuration options that no longer work.

And more importantly, the Hibernate 3.3 and JBC 2.x "Using JBoss Cache as a Hibernate Second Level Cache reference manual." in http://www.jboss.org/jbossclustering/do ... uide-3.pdf
