Spring boot and Hibernate Second Level cache giving NoCacheRegionFactoryAvailableException

Problem:

Setting below in application.properties,

[bash]
hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache=true
hibernate.cache.hazelcast.use_native_client=true
hibernate.cache.region.factory_class=com.hazelcast.hibernate.HazelcastCacheRegionFactory
[/bash]

Gives the error:

[bash]

org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheRegionFactoryAvailableException: 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 class name to property
hibernate.cache.region.factory_class (and make sure the second level cache provider,
hibernate-infinispan, for example, is available in the classpath).

[/bash]

Solution

Move the above settings from application.properties to hibernate.properties.
