Hi,

You add following in pom.xml file:

    <dependency>
        <artifactId>hibernate-ehcache</artifactId>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <version>4.3.5.Final</version>
    </dependency>

After this change ehcache settings in hibernate-cfg.xml file:

<property name="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class" value="net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory"/>

To:

<property name="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.EhCacheRegionFactory"/>

After implementing this change you will be able to run your application.

Thanks
