How to configure second level cache in Hibernate 4.1.5 SP1?

Question

I have read other threads on here about this subject but none of the solutions work for me.

I tried putting this in my hibernate.cfg.xml:

Answer 1

Well, I found the answer (from a Youtube user):

1. Use hibernate-release-4.1.0.Final or later versions.
2. Add jars from lib\optional\ehcache directory

3. Update hibernate.cfg.xml:

   org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.SingletonEhCacheRegionFactory
   

4. Add slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar (I found it in ehcache-2.5.1-distribution.tar­.gz downloaded from ehcache.org in addition) because of ClassNotFoundException.

5. Add this to your hibernate.cfg.xml:

   
   true
   

The key point here was adding the ehcache jar from the optional\ directory in Hibernate4.
