Second-level cache is not enabled for usage

I am trying to configure JBoss Cache 2 level using Hibernate version 3.3.1.GA, domain entities are configured using hibernate annotations 3.4.0.GA.

Here is the properties for AnnotationSessionFactoryBean

Code:

                <prop key="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache">true</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.cache.CacheProvider">org.hibernate.cache.jbc2.JBossCacheRegionFactory</prop>

Here is maven dependencies to add JBoss cache jars into the app classpath

Code:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.cache</groupId>
            <artifactId>jbosscache-core</artifactId>
            <version>3.2.1.GA</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-jbosscache2</artifactId>
            <version>3.3.2.GA</version>
        </dependency>

To test the second level cache I annotated the domain entity with

Code:

@Cache(usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE)

running the unit test throws

Code:

Caused by: org.hibernate.cache.NoCachingEnabledException: Second-level cache is not enabled for usage [hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache | hibernate.cache.use_query_cache]
   at org.hibernate.cache.impl.NoCachingRegionFactory.buildEntityRegion(NoCachingRegionFactory.java:66)

Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Ok I made some progress. Fixed the configuration problem AnnotationSessionFactoryBean

Code:

<prop key="hibernate.cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.jbc2.JBossCacheRegionFactory</prop>

Now according to the documentation the provider class is implementation of CacheProvider. However JBossCacheRegionFactory does not implement CacheProvider. This is contrary to the Hibernate documentation. Where can I find doc to provide JBoss cache2 as second level cache?

thanks
