About Using Ehcache with Grails
Grails 1.2RC1 and higher use Ehcache as the default Hibernate second-level cache. However earlier versions of Grails ship with the Ehcache library and are very simple to enable. The following steps show how to configure Grails to use Ehcache. For 1.2RC1 and higher some of these steps are already done for you.
Configuring Ehcache as the Second-Level Hibernate Cache
Edit DataSource.groovy as follows:
hibernate {
cache.use_second_level_cache=true
cache.use_query_cache=true
cache.provider_class='org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider'
}
Overriding Defaults
As is usual with Hibernate, it will use the defaultCache configuration as a template to create new caches as required. For production use you often want to customize the cache configuration. To do so, add an ehcache.xml configuration file to the conf directory (the same directory that contains DataSource.groovy). A sample ehcache.xml which works with the Book demo app and is good as a starter configuration for Grails is shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ehcache xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ehcache.xsd" >
<diskStore path="/path/to/store/data"/>
<cacheManagerEventListenerFactory class="" properties=""/>
<defaultCache
maxEntriesLocalHeap="10000"
eternal="false"
timeToLiveSeconds="120">
<persistence strategy="none"/>
</defaultCache>
<cache name="Book"
maxEntriesLocalHeap="10000"
timeToIdleSeconds="300"
/>
<cache name="org.hibernate.cache.UpdateTimestampsCache"
maxEntriesLocalHeap="10000"
timeToIdleSeconds="300"
/>
<cache name="org.hibernate.cache.StandardQueryCache"
maxEntriesLocalHeap="10000"
timeToIdleSeconds="300"
/>
</ehcache>
