Thank you. According to the Hibernate reference (see: http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/reference/en/html/performance-cache....), JBC cannot be used for "nonstrict-read-write" or "read-write" modes. It does support "transactional", but if I am not mistaken, this requires JTA support. Is this correct? Is there support for caching read-write entities, without JTA, for example - using Spring TX support for a single datasource, which uses plain JDBC transactions? Thanks again.
