Re: [jboss-dev] Re: Sep/14th cutoff date for component updates in AS5 Beta3

The current Hibernate core release is not compatible with JBoss Cache 2.0 (JBC API is very different.) This breaks using JBC as a Hibernate 2nd level cache. For EJB3 entity caching I've written a CacheProvider impl that deals with JBC 2.0, so that use case is handled. But if people want to use Hibernate+JBC outside of EJB3, that will be a problem. A workaround to this would be to write an equivalent to what I did for EJB3 and include it in the hibernate-int module. I'm currently working with Steve on a *much* improved Hibernate/JBC integration for Hibernate 3.3. It would certainly be nicer to have AS 5 use that.
