Trouble in Disabling Second Level Cache in Hibernate

Question

I have used ehcache in my application. I deploy my application in jbossAS7 server. I want to disable second level cache now. I have removed the cache properties from my hibernate configuration file, deleted my ehcache.xml file, removed the cache usage from all the hbm files. When I deploy my project in jboss, I can see that the second level cache is enabled.

[org.hibernate.cfg.SettingsFactory] (MSC service thread 1-6) Second-level cache: enabled

How do I disable it?

Answer 2

Encountered a similar problem. Posting the answer here for anyone who reaches this thread.

In your hibernate.cfg.xml file, set the following property to false

<property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache">false</property>

Note: commenting out this property will throw an application error if there are still annotations in your class files (or <cache> tags in hbm xml files)
