What are the Maven dependencies to use hibernate, hibernate annotations, and ehcache?

Question

I would like to update my Maven pom.xml with the latest hibernate, hibernate-annotations, and ehcache dependencies.

I read the hibernate download page and the ehcache do

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-core -->

Answer 3

If you really mean the ultimate versions of hibernate-annotations (and not hibernate-entitymanager) and ehcache, then you'll need the following:

<project>
  ...
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
      <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
      <version>3.6.0.Final</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
       <groupId>net.sf.ehcache</groupId>
       <artifactId>ehcache-core</artifactId>
       <version>2.2.0</version>
   </dependency>
   ...
  </dependencies>

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>repository.jboss.org-public</id>
      <name>JBoss repository</name>
      <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
  ...
</project>

As of Hibernate 3.6, JDK 1.4 support has been dropped and the Hibernate Annotations have been merged back into Core.

I you meant Hibernate EntityManager, then replace hibernate-core by hibernate-entitymanager in the above snippet.

Regarding EHCache, ehcache-core should provide everything you need (including implementations of the "new" Hibernate 3.3/3.5 caching SPI with its CacheRegionFactory). So, as documented:

Setting Ehcache as the Hibernate Second Level Cache

Hibernate 3.3 and higher

ATTENTION HIBERNATE 3.2 USERS

Make sure to note the change to BOTH the property name and value.

Use:

<property name="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class">
          net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory</property>

for instance creation, or

<property name="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class">
          net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.SingletonEhCacheRegionFactory</property>

to force Hibernate to use a singleton of Ehcache CacheManager.

Follow-up: To answer your update:

sl4j threw errors, which went away by adding (...)

Well, I can't guess what logging framework you're using, providing the binding of your choice was left as an exercise for the reader :)

There are many instances of this warning (...)

I get only one WARNING when running in a non JTA environment. If that's your case (a non JTA environment), I would consider the WARNING as normal. If that's not your case, have a look at the documentation about JTA.

Additionally, this error makes everything fail

This is somehow a different question (but it looks like the SessionFactory fails to initialize properly, activate logging to see why) and I suggest to post a new spring specific question.
