    <property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache">true</property>
    <property name="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache">false</property>
    <property name="net.sf.ehcache.configurationResourceName">/ehcache.xml</property>

    <mapping class="com.shindi.ippan.entity.Item"></mapping>
    <mapping class="com.shindi.ippan.entity.UserAccount"></mapping>

when i try to remove the following line:

<property name="net.sf.ehcache.configurationResourceName">/ehcache.xml</property>

it will now then run with out errors. but my caching will won't work.

Answer 1

Make sure your ehcache.xml on your resources folder and declare it like below:

<property name="net.sf.ehcache.configurationResourceName">ehcache.xml</property>

If you don't have a custom ehcache.xml it's optional and used to support multiple CacheManagers in the same VM. It tells Hibernate which configuration to use.
