[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-7102) Misleading error message is shown when no RegionFactory is manually set

Misleading error message is shown when no RegionFactory is manually set ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-7102 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7102 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 4.1.0 Environment: hibernate-jpa-2.0-api:1.0.1.Final; hibernate-core:4.1.0.Final; hibernate-entitymanager:4.1.0.Final Reporter: Michael Nascimento Santos Attachments: misleadingmessagewithnoregionfactoryset.zip When an entity is marked as @Cacheable (and have @Cache on it, to work around HHH-7101), an exception will be thrown when calling Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(String) informing the user that cache is not enabled and either hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache or hibernate.cache.use_query_cache need to be set. Although this is obviously very helpful, the exception will continue to be thrown with the same text even once both properties are set to true: Caused by: org.hibernate.cache.NoCachingEnabledException: Second-level cache is not enabled for usage [hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache | hibernate.cache.use_query_cache] at org.hibernate.cache.internal.NoCachingRegionFactory.buildEntityRegion(NoCachingRegionFactory.java:69) at org.hibernate.internal.SessionFactoryImpl.<init>(SessionFactoryImpl.java:347) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1740) at org.hibernate.ejb.EntityManagerFactoryImpl.<init>(EntityManagerFactoryImpl.java:88) at org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration.buildEntityManagerFactory(Ejb3Configuration.java:904) ... 11 more At this point, the problem is Hibernate is using NoCachingRegionFactory instead of a valid one, but the message is completely deceiving and wastes user time. Instead, a clear message showing that a RegionFactory other than NoCachingRegionFactory should be set using hibernate.cache.region.factory_class should be produced instead. Attached is a Maven-powered sample with Derby that can be executed with exec:java . -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
