EHCache not working

[Poornima Sharma]

Hi Friends,

I am unable to implement EHCache in my application. To do this I followed the following procedure:-

1. Added the following details in hibernate.cfg.xml:-

<property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class">net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.SingletonEhCacheProvider</property>
<property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.cache.provider_configuration_file_resource_path">/ehcache.xml</property>

2. created ehcache.xml with default properties and few class properties.

3. Added <cache usage="read-only"/> in hibernate properties file and the sets.

When I run my application I see that EHCache is assigned properly, however I cannot see the affects, the speed of the execution of application is same and when i check the cacheHitCount it is 0.

It seems like I am missing something. Can anybody guide me the right procedure? Is there any example showing the correct implementation or are there any junit test cases to test the working functionaltiy.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Can you post your ehcache.xml and tell us which app server you are using?

Are you load a data in Object form or using HQL query.?

please check that hibernate fire the query for your data?
