I recently attempted to integrate JBoss Cache 2.x as a second level cache with Hibernate 3.3.0 SP1. According to the Hibernate documentation I should be able to specify the org.hibernate.cache.jbc2.JBossCacheRegionFactory class as the provider class via the hibernate.cache.provider_class configuration property.
At runtime, this generates an exception, as the JBossCacheRegionFactoryclass does not implement the CacheProvider class.
If any reader of this forum has insight into how to configure a JBoss Cache 2.x (or higher) as a second level cache for Hibernate, I'd definitely appreciate it. Based on my limited exposure to this I don't see how this can work, at least using standard Hibernate second level cache configuration.
Thanks.
