Question

I created a new app using grails 2.4.0, then when changing the hibernate plugin to :hibernate:3.6.10.15, I got the following error:

Note : I have changed the hibernate plugin (from hibernate4:4.3.5.3 to hibernate:3.6.10.15) as a work around to solve an error apeared after running s2-quickstart during installing spring-security-core:2.0-RC3

Is this a bug in the new release or I am missing something?

Answer 1

Your conf/DataSource.groovy hibernate section should look like this:

hibernate {
  cache.use_second_level_cache = true
  cache.use_query_cache = false
  cache.region.factory_class = 'net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory' // Hibernate 3
//cache.region.factory_class = 'org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.EhCacheRegionFactory' // Hibernate 4
  singleSession = true // configure OSIV singleSession mode
}

If you have enabled hibernate 3 in BuildConfig.groovy you should comment out cache of hibernate 4 in DataSource.groovy and enable cache of hibernate 3.
