error while configuring hibernate second level cache

hi all, and thanks in advance if u post any reply.

i am configuring my hibernate from "hibernate-common.cfg.xml" file, right now we have not implemented any hibernate caching techniques in our project i am the first one trying to implement to enhance performance.

so i am trying to use second level cache by putting these tags inside "hibernate-common.cfg.xml"

<property name="cache.user_second_level_cache">true</property>
<property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider</property>

but at configuration time i am getting an error (i am sure it is an error, because i tried to catch it with exception but the control was not coming to the catch block, but with throwable it is coming).

the error given is

tried to access method net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager.<init>()V from class hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider

so it will be a great help if anyone can please suggest something.

Cheers

Jamal

Firstly property name you are using in hibernate config is incorrect it should be hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache instead of user_second_level_cache

Code:

Second you need to check which version of hibernate you are using
For Hibernate 3.3 and higher

Code:

<property name="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class">
              net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory</property>

And for Hibernate 3.0 - 3.2

Code:

<property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class">
              net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheProvider</property>

hi

rahul thanks for the reply, i made a typing mistake about the property.

i got the solution, i was using an older version of ehcache-1.1.jar, that was the issue.

i am using ehcache-1.2.3.jar now its working fine.

thanks, god bless
