Re: [hibernate-dev] 2nd-level cache suggestions

I propose the following solutions: 1. I think it's possible to add a manual collection cache entry update in the postAction() callback. And it'll probably work.

2. This one is much harder to fix. I'm planning to add a special flag "onlyCached" to the LoadEvent and add the corresponding functionality to the DefaultLoadEventListener. So I'll have something like: ======== public void initializeFromCache(CollectionPersister persister, Serializable disassembled, Object owner) throws HibernateException { Serializable[] array = ( Serializable[] ) disassembled; int size = array.length; Object [] loaded=new Object[size]; List notInCache=new ArrayList(); beforeInitialize( persister, size ); for ( int i = 0; i < size; i++ ) { loaded[i]=session.tryToLoadFromCache(array[i], owner); if (loaded[i]==null) notInCache.add(array[i]); } Iterator entities=getSession().createCriteria( persister.getElementType().getName()) .add(Restrictions.in("id",notInCache)) .iterate(); for(int i=0; i < size; i++) { if (loaded[i]!=null) list.add(loaded[i]); else list.add(entities.next()); } } ========

3. This is a fairly large task, which requires changing some of Hibernate fundamentals (like LoadEvent). But I think I can do it.
