Hibernate version: 3.0.5
Name and version of the database you are using: DB2 8.2

I was wondering if there is anyway to clear the sessioin of only certain collections or objects.

My understanding is whenever I call session.clear() , it clears the session of everything. But what if I have some objects is session which I want to keep and I only want to clear the session of some collections that I do not need and may cause overflow in the session. I am looking for a way to be able to do

session.clear(Collection mycollection)

rather than calling

session.clear()

Thanks for your replies in advance,

AFAIK there is no possibility to remove objects from the Session that has the granularity of a Collection - you have evict(Object) or clear().

Don't you think that evict could do the job (at the cost of writing "silly" loops)?
