I was messing around today and noticed that if I perform a manual INSERT into an entity table, then call em.createQuery("from "+MyEntity.class.getName()).getResultList() to get all entities, the list returned does not contain the entity I inserted manually. I thought it might be a caching issue, so I set the cache provider to NoCacheProvider, but I still get the same behavior. What's preventing Hibernate from getting the latest info from the database??
