Hello,

I am trying to enable second-level cache (Ehcache) in Hibernate but without success.

My Spring configuration is as follows:
<prop key="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache">true</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache">true</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.cache.provider_class">net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.SingletonEhCacheProvider</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.cache.provider_configuration_file_resource_path">ehcache.xml</prop>

My ehcache.xml file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ehcache>
<diskStore path="c:\cache\"/>
<defaultCache maxElementsInMemory="10000"
eternal="false"
timeToIdleSeconds="120"
timeToLiveSeconds="120"
overflowToDisk="true"
maxElementsOnDisk="10000000"
diskPersistent="false"
diskExpiryThreadIntervalSeconds="120"
memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LRU" />

In my entity classes i use
@Cache(usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.NONSTRICT_READ_WRITE)
public class A implements java.io.Serializable {

I use Criteria API for loading data:
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(A.class.getName()).setFirstResult(offset * maxResults).setMaxResults(maxResults);
criteria.addOrder(Order.asc("id"));
criteria.setCacheable(true);
return criteria.list();

I checked cache statistics and in log i can see that:
session.getSessionFactory().getStatistics().getSecondLevelCacheHitCount() is always 0!
session.getSessionFactory().getStatistics().getSecondLevelCacheMissCount() is not 0 but varying and
session.getSessionFactory().getStatistics().getSecondLevelCachePutCount() is constantly increasing.

Also i checked .data files in "c:\cache" and all files are empty.

Can someone help me about this, what i am missing?

Best regards.
