Hi anybody,
I am a new boy in ehcache. I am using ehcache with hibernate, I have added the following properties in my hibernate.cfg.xml file:
<property name="cache.provider_class">net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheProvider</property>
<property name="cache.use_second_level_cache">true</property>
<property name="cache.use_query_cache">true</property>
<property name="cache.region.factory_class">net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory</property>

and I have finished to configure the ehcache.xml under my classpath:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ehcache xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ehcache.xsd"
updateCheck="false" monitoring="off"
dynamicConfig="true">

<diskStore path="java.io.tmpdir"/>

<cacheManagerEventListenerFactory class="" properties=""/>

<defaultCache
maxEntriesLocalHeap="0"
eternal="false"
overflowToDisk="true"
timeToIdleSeconds="1200"
timeToLiveSeconds="1200">

</defaultCache>

<cache name="sampleCache1"
maxEntriesLocalHeap="10000"
maxEntriesLocalDisk="1000"
eternal="false"
overflowToDisk="true"
diskSpoolBufferSizeMB="20"
timeToIdleSeconds="300"
timeToLiveSeconds="600"
memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LFU"
transactionalMode="off"
/>
</ehcache>

Now, the key question is, how do I know whether ehcache works?

You can enable Hibernate statistics and query them or make Hibernate expose them via JMX.

Here are two starting points:

Don't forget to tell Hibernate which entities and queries it should cache.

Jaza, thanks very mush.

Issue seems to be resolved , closing the topic.
