Error in grails 2.4.0 with hibernate:3.6.10.15 plugin

grails, security, spring

Solution

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.

Problem

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: ``` Error | 2014-05-25 12:37:52,167 [localhost-startStop-1] ERROR context.Grail actionManagerPostProcessor': Initialization of bean failed; nested e 'transactionManager': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFa .factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sess n: could not instantiate RegionFactory [org.hibernate.cache.ehcache Message: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManagerPostProce eationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager' nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationE exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: could not instantia Line | Method ->> 262 | run in java.util.concurrent.FutureTask - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | 1145 | runWorker in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor | 615 | run . . . in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Wor ^ 744 | run in java.lang.Thread Caused by BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'tra essionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.facto d failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: cou ->> 262 | run in java.util.concurrent.FutureTask - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | 1145 | runWorker in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor | 615 | run . . . in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Wor ^ 744 | run in java.lang.Thread Caused by BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'ses on: could not instantiate RegionFactory [org.hibernate.cache.ehcach ->> 262 | run in java.util.concurrent.FutureTask - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | 1145 | runWorker in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor | 615 | run . . . in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Wor ^ 744 | run in java.lang.Thread Caused by HibernateException: could not instantiate RegionFactory [ ->> 262 | run in java.util.concurrent.FutureTask - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | 1145 | runWorker in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor | 615 | run . . . in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Wor ^ 744 | run in java.lang.Thread Caused by ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.EhCac ->> 366 | run in java.net.URLClassLoader$1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | 355 | run in '' | 354 | findClass in java.net.URLClassLoader | 425 | loadClass in java.lang.ClassLoader | 190 | forName . in java.lang.Class | 262 | run in java.util.concurrent.FutureTask | 1145 | runWorker in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor | 615 | run in java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Wor ^ 744 | run . . . in java.lang.Thread | Error Forked Grails VM exited with 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?
