IllegalStateException: Cache provider not started

Description

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50517881/hibernate-5-3-spring-5-ehcache-3-5-2-jdk-10-hibernate-says-cache-provider-no

when i start tomcat 9, jdk 10, hibernate 5.3 i get this error:

so first question, do i need to start something like, ehcache or hibernate-jcache or hibernate-ehcache? i am very much interested in a KISS solution, just need to get this up and running for a 10 year old workflow app upgrading from hib 3, spring 2.5, tomcat 6 etc... ehcache from back in hib 3 works awesome for us. so i am just looking for no-harm upgrade motivated by hibernate 5.3 - that is what we need to change.

so after much, much confusion about the easiest way to integrate hibernate 5.3 and ehcache, i decided on this:

ivy.xml

Closing this one, thanks for the follow-up but as mentioned in https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-12630 , we have something to improve.

SelaronMay 30, 2018 at 7:10 AM

In my opinion this struggle is caused by RegionFactory not logging root causes of failed startup.
See HHH-12630.

I too had to debug hibernate-core to find out why caches successfully start in apache tomcat, but fail to start in our JUnit environment after upgrading to hibernate 5.3 and migrating configurations. I added my cache config as "classpath:ehcache.xml". Apache Tomcat registers a URL handler that is cappable of handling "classpath:" protocol - JUnit by default doesn't.

org.apache.catalina.webresources.TomcatURLStreamHandlerFactory.register()

As you said: maze of possibilities.

this was a config issue. you can close.

In short the fix to my error was to add the jcache.xml resource to my ant build, because it was not getting deployed. With that said, for others who may have this error, there is such a maze of possibilities and lack of clear simple-stupid config for hibernate 5.3, spring 5, ehcache 3.5.2, jdk 10, tomcat 9, your only hope (other than dumb luck, which does work) is to put tomcat in debug mode, attach eclipse, add the hibernate-core source to an eclipse project, set a breakpoint in the offending hibernate class/method and see what is not available/expected in your particular configuration.
