Question

Is there any fail safe way to be 100% sure what cache Hibernate is using? i.e is it using EhCache of something else?
Thanks.

Answer 1

String cacheIntegrationName = ( (SessionFactoryImplementor) sessionFactory )
    .getSettings()
    .getRegionFactory()
    .getClass()
    .getName();

Of course Hibernate already logs “something”. Enable debug logging for the org.hibernate.cfg.SettingsFactory logger and look for “Cache region factory : XYZ”
