second level cache (ehcache) doubt

[vipul bondugula]

Hi,

I am novice to hibernate. currently iam working on how to enable second level caching. I am using ehcache that is bundled with my hibernate 3.2.5 version.

I configured ehcache in hibernate.cfg.xml file as follows:

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

these are the configuration i made. I am not sure whether second level cache is working or not. i googled and found ehcache.xml file has to be writter.

i do not understand what is the use of ehcache.xml file and what should be written into it...Is it mandatory to write?


Another One: Do hibernate default disables second level cache...?

Thanks,
Vipul Kumar
