Spring ,Hibernate & ehcache

[Thillakan Saba]

I have got following warning when the application start up.

   

2009-05-13 09:19:41,171 WARN  net.sf.ehcache.config.Configurator - No configurat
ion found. Configuring ehcache from ehcache-failsafe.xml found in the classpath:
 jar:file:/app/java/lib/ehcache-1.1.jar!/ehcache-failsafe.xml

 

I found encache code in following url ..

ConfigurationFactory Code

   

  /***
117      * Configures a bean from an XML file in the classpath.
118      */
119     public static Configuration parseConfiguration() throws CacheException {
120         ClassLoader standardClassloader = ClassLoaderUtil.getStandardClassLoader();
121         URL url = null;
122         if (standardClassloader != null) {
123             url = standardClassloader.getResource(DEFAULT_CLASSPATH_CONFIGURATION_FILE);
124         }
125         if (url == null) {
126             url = ConfigurationFactory.class.getResource(DEFAULT_CLASSPATH_CONFIGURATION_FILE);
127         }
128         if (url != null) {
129             if (LOG.isLoggable(Level.FINE)) {
130                 LOG.fine("Configuring ehcache from ehcache.xml found in the classpath: " + url);
131             }
132         } else {
133             url = ConfigurationFactory.class.getResource(FAILSAFE_CLASSPATH_CONFIGURATION_FILE);
134             if (LOG.isLoggable(Level.WARNING)) {
135                 LOG.warning("No configuration found. Configuring ehcache from ehcache-failsafe.xml "
136                         + " found in the classpath: " + url);
137             }
138         }
139         return parseConfiguration(url);
140     }
141 

 

what i understood from above code.

It is trying to load ehcache.xml but could not find the file so then it loads ehcache-failsafe.xml.

I want to know does this cause any problem to application ?

Any input on this greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

http://ehcache.org/documentation/configuration/configuration#ehcache-failsafexml

First, EHCache search your configuration : ehcache.xml.

If EHCache can't find it, a warning is sended and use default configuration in ehcache-failsafexml.

If you use second level cache with default cache, it will take the default cache value in ehcache-failsafexml.

If you use second level cache with specific named cache, I think you will have some problems.
