Error message

Second-level cache is used in the application, but property hibernate.cache.region.factory_class is not given; please either disable second-level cache or set correct region factory using the hibernate.cache.region.factory_class setting and make sure the second-level cache provider (hibernate-infinispan, e.g.) is available on the classpath.

Solutions

1. Set hibernate.cache.region.factory_class (e.g. org.hibernate.cache.jcache.JCacheRegionFactory or infinispan) and add the cache provider to the classpath, or disable the second-level cache.

Example fix

Set hibernate.cache.region.factory_class (e.g. org.hibernate.cache.jcache.JCacheRegionFactory or infinispan) and add the cache provider to the classpath, or disable the second-level cache.

When it happens

Trigger: Second-level caching is misconfigured or a cache region/key does not match what Hibernate expects.

Common situations: Enabling @Cacheable entities without setting hibernate.cache.region.factory_class, custom RegionFactory implementations, or unwrapping Cache to provider types.
