From Hibernate docs:

Use Hibernate's StatelessSession for the JPACacheStore ------------------------------------------------------ Key: ISPN-3954 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-3954 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Loaders and Stores Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard Assignee: Radim Vansa Labels: 630 The current model uses the regular session even though operations are tailored toward actions (insert, update, delete). It would be better to make use of the Hibernate StatelessSession API which has been designed for these use cases.
