I am using hibernate with 2nd level cahce and i've some quesions regarding the concurrent cache strategy: 1) I've 2 entities Event and EventText for each Event there are many EventText EventText is an entity that I am only inserting(never update/delete) but it hold one Event and Event is an entity that can be changed once in few weeks , can I use READ_ONLY for EventText? 2)now what about queries? I would like to query i.e. all Events that contains EventText.type=1 , can I cache this query? I thought to put TRANSACTIONAL cache on the Event entity and cache this queries , does it make sense?
