Anurag Bhatia [http://community.jboss.org/people/ab_99] created the discussion "EJB3 and Hibernate Second Level Cache InvalidationEJB3 and Hibernate Second Level Cache Invalidation" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/564483#564483 -------------------------------------------------------------- I am using the hibernate second level cache for  my ejb3 entity beans for entity caching as well as query caching. Does  anyone have any idea on how to invalidate the hibernate second level  cache? I tried to use the evictXXXX() methods in the sessionfactory but had no success. There is nothing there in the EntityPersisters or the CollecitonPersisters. My entities are marked with the@Cache (usage=CacheConcurrencyStrategy.TRANSACTIONAL) annotation The queries are used as follows -       Query query = entityManager.createQuery(query String.........);       query.setParameter(DATEPARAM, date);       query.setHint("org.hibernate.cacheable", true);       return query.getResultList(); persitence.xml - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <persistence xmlns=" http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"    xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"    xsi:schemaLocation=" http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd"    version="1.0">        <persistence-unit name="test">           <jta-data-source>java:com/test/datasources/DataSource</jta-data-source>           <properties>             <property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache" value="true"/>             <property name="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache" value="true"/>             <property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider"/>             <property name="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.jbc2.JndiMultiplexedJBossCacheRegionFactory"/>             <property name="hibernate.cache.region.jbc2.cachefactory" value="java:CacheManager"/>             <property name="hibernate.cache.region.jbc2.cfg.entity" value="mvcc-entity"/>             <property name="hibernate.cache.region.jbc2.cfg.collection" value="mvcc-entity"/>             <property name="hibernate.cache.region.jbc2.cfg.query" value="local-query"/>             <property name="hibernate.cache.region_prefix" value="tempdb"/>             <property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class" value="org.hibernate.transaction.JBossTransactionManagerLookup"/>             <property name="hibernate.generate_statistics" value="true"/>             <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>           </properties>        </persistence-unit> </persistence> -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/564483#564483] Start a new discussion in EJB 3.0 at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
