I figured it out and your suggestion worked great. Here's the new code: Option option = cache.getInvocationContext().getOptionOverrides(); | option.setSuppressPersistence(true); | rootNode.removeChild("content"); | option.setSuppressPersistence(false); | rootNode.getChild("content"); That's much cleaner than how I was doing it before.
