Cache Configuration problem

[mozammil muzza]

hi Guys,
I am experimenting with the Hibernate Caching and trying to get ideas on cache management specially second level cache.
Here i am using "EhCache' for my small apps as it is the default for hibernate.

but i am getting exception :


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

my ehcache.xml file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cache name="org.muzza.java.pojo.Employee"
maxElementsInMemory="300"
eternal="true"
overflowToDisk="false"
timeToIdleSeconds="12000"
timeToLiveSeconds="12000"
diskPersistent="false"
diskExpiryThreadIntervalSeconds="120"
memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LRU"
/>


Please tell me the reason why this is saying this for the name attribute ??

Thanks

Hi friends,

Expecting some reply for this.

[mozammil muzza]

Isn't there anybody who can help me on this ?

[Koen Aerts]

Well, the message is telling you that the "name" attribute in the <cache> tag is not allowed. So remove the name="org.muzza.java.pojo.Employee" part in your ehcache.xml file.

[Paul Clapham]

Still, that's odd, because the XSD for the EHCache XML file says that not only is "name" a permitted attribute on the <cache> element, it's a required attribute.

[Koen Aerts]

Maybe the <cache> tag is in the wrong place. Should it go inside <ehcache> tags?

[mozammil muzza]

Hi ALL,
Correct Koen, <cache> tag must be inside <ehcache> tag with which we cab define many cache for different bean and also sometime there is need to define defaultcache, otherwise gives exception something like "DefaultCache is not defined or set".
