Grails 2.4 + Hibernate 4 + Searchable plugin = ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl

Question

Recently I was integrating a simple Grails application with the Searchable plugin. What I\'ve found was that Searchable plugin does not work with Hibernate 4 library.

Burt gave very good description. Thanks for this.

I just want to add short hint. At this time Searchable plugin doesn't work with Hibernate 4.X.X. Try to downgrade your hibernate in the project to 3.X.X (hibernate:3.6.10.18)

So you will need: in DataSource.groovy

add/uncomment the following:

cache.region.factory_class = 'net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory'

and delete/comment:

cache.region.factory_class = 'org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.EhCacheRegionFactory'

in BuildConfig.groovy:

change Hibernate dependency to ":hibernate:3.6.10.18"

It works on my machine with such changes.

Hope it will help to somebody.
