Re: [hibernate-dev] Fwd: NaturalIdLoadAccess behaviour on 2Lcache is this expected?

Hello Developers, Strong suggested I fwd this to the mailing-list.With reference to mail below could any of you clarify/explain if this is expected behaviour of NaturalIdLoadAccess with 2lcache as I find some discrepancy.

Hi Strong, I notice a strange behaviour while loading natural id with secondlevel cache enabled. Not sure if this is expected behaviour but I notice some discrepancies which I would like to clarify. I am not yet uploading this test to my AS7 branch on github as AS7 is still stuck on hibernate4.1.2 and this test requires 4.1.3 from EAP 6 tested currently to work. Please paste the attached unzipped folder in AS testsuite folder structure in location: /jboss-as/testsuite/integration/basic/src/test/java/org/jboss/as/test/integration/hibernate/ Please run with hibernate 4.1.3 jars replaced in modules/org/hibernate..... within build of AS7 In my test I have tried to load an entity with NaturalIdLoadAccess while 2lcache is enabled using two natural ids(firstname and voterid) in several steps. 1) create person(with natural ids firstname and voterid) 2) load using natural ids first time 3) modify/update natural ids in database(in order to not touch 2lcache) 4) load using loader from 2Lcache using old natural id values in step 2---//this works correctly as expected and is able to load values from cache though it has been modified in DB. 5) then load using loader from (2) but using updated values of firstname and voterid(naturalids) used in step 3 //this is where it breaks the Person object returned from this load still shows older value of firstname as in step 2 but wondering how the loader works as I have passed the new values in using(....) also the next step fails so wondering where the flaw is! 6) try to use same loader and load using older values of natural id this is to recheck if older value is still persisting in cache as it was returned in step5 //this returns null pointer showing it does not exist in cache and loader is unable to load it! 7) If i try again with the new actual values the loader is able to load the person entity again but with old values!!! So the problem/confusion is due to the discrepancy between step 5 and step 6 (with the older value of entity loaded in step5 indicating it is still cached but then with the failure to load it in step 6 throwing nullpointer which indicates its not) Also I am surprised at how using() function behaves on the loader i.e it returns the entity with older values while loading "using()" the updated values!(as confirmed in step 7) Please note that the testcase will pass as I replaced the asserts with S.O.Ps hence you should check for the values in server log excerpt(attaching for ease) Could you take a quick look please and explain if this is expected behaviour?
