I intend to use SwarmCache as the Hibernate CacheProvider.
According to Hibernate spec: "The <cache> element of a class or collection mapping has the following form:
transactional|read-write|nonstrict-read-write|read-only"
I am interested in nonstrict-read-write option which is suitable for the situation where it is extremely unlikely that two transactions would try to update the same item simultaneously.
My question is: what happens if this extremely unlikely situation occurs - will the runtime exception be thrown or just dirty/fantom read will happen?


Thanks
