Ehcache exception

[Mansi Mishra]

I get the following exception on running my application.

 
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [WEB-INF/applicationContext-hibernate.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager.<init>()V from class org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider
java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager.<init>()V from class org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider

I believe some versions of ehcache jars are not compatible with hibernate-3.2 jar.
I have tried all permutations and combination by changing the versions of both the jars, still it doesn't seem to work.
Any idea???

Looks like either a classloader or a jar version issue.

I am running hibernate-3.2.6-ga.jar and it does indeed reference net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager from the org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider class. My version of ehcache is ehcache-1.4.1.jar, and they seem to be happily getting along.
