Does Ehcache 2.1 support the transactional cache concurrency strategy in Hibernate 3.3.2GA?

Question

Does Ehcache 2.1 now support the transactional cache concurrency strategy in Hibernate 3.3.2GA? That is, does Hibernate, when configured to use Ehcache 2.1 as its cache provider, allow the <cache usage="transactional"/> element in a mapping file or the Hibernate entity class annotation @Cache(usage=CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE)?

Answer 1

According to the Ehcache Home Page page, Ehcache 2.1+ does now support all Hibernate strategies:

17 May 2010: Ehcache 2.1.0 and new ehcache-nonstopcache and

ehcache-unlockedreadsview released

Ehcache 2.1.0 rounds out Ehcache 2.0. JTA support has been added for standalone ehcache. JTA for Hibernate has been added which now means Ehcache supports all Hibernate strategies. ehcache-nonstopcache adds a new API with support for timeouts on Cache Operations and configurable actions on disconnection from a cluster. ehcache-unlockedreadsview adds support for a coherent cache to expose an unlocked view at the same time, for rapid response.
