ehcache not working with hibernate

Question

I have a dropwizard Application, configured in config.yml in database.

The properties are:

hibernate.show_sql: true
javax.persistence.sharedCache.mode: ALL
hibernate.cache.default_cache_concurrency_strategy: read-only
hibernate.cache.region.factory_class: 
org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.SingletonEhCacheRegionFactory
hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache: true

But it seems that ehcache is not working...

In the logs I always see the queries and the ehcache log:

The DAO code is very simple:

@DAO
public class ContractDAO extends AbstractDAO<Contract> {

    public ContractDAO(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
        super(sessionFactory);
    }

    public List<Contract> getAll() {
        return list(query(" from Contract c"));
    }

    public Contract getById(int id) {
        return query(" from Contract c where c.id = "+id).getSingleResult();
    }
}

Any idea what is wrong ?

Answer 1

You need to configure the persistent objects and queries as cacheable.

Just add @Cache(usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.NONSTRICT_READ_WRITE) to your Contract class to cache the entity.

Then, Hibernate will get the entity from the cache instead of from the database. However, in your case, you are using queries. I am not a dropwizard expect but there is probably a findById somewhere that can replace query(" from Contract c where c.id = "+id) . BTW, you should never concatenate like that. Use parameters in a prepared statement instead.

For the getAll , you need to set the query to be cacheable. Again, I don't know how it's done with dropwizard but there must be a setCacheable somewhere.
