Hi,

Recent EhCache versions have fixed a dead lock issue: https://jira.terracotta.org/jira/browse/EHC-1079 .

We tried to update to 2.8.4 but it fails as they have removed the ClassLoaderUtil.getStandardClassLoader() method.

In their embedded AbstractEhcacheRegionFactory, they replaced it with the underlying implementation so I propose to do the same in Hibernate.

Pull request to come.

It would be nice to have this integrated in the next 4.3.x.

Note: I haven't updated EhCache as part of this PR as I suppose it's a different process to validate a new EhCache version.
