Hi,

I'd like to be able to refresh/reset all EHCache regions without having to restart Hibernate and the webapp, it that possible ? (Hibernate v3, EHCache as integrated v1.1)

Regards,

Phil

Get a hold to a EHCacheManager (I believe it is a singleton instance inside VM).
Or you can do that through SessionFactory - if EHCache is your Hibernate cache impl.

Thanks,

Can you or somebody tell me more (not that i'm lazy, i have poor java knowledge)

- EHCache is my Hibernate cache impl as in the default hibernate 3.1. package.
- I see org.hibernate.cache.EhCache has a method clear()
- Idon't see how i can point to the cache from SessionFactory
- I can get Instance of singleton net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager
CacheManager cacheManager = CacheManager.getInstance();
Cache cache = cacheManager.getCache("name");
then it is not a org.hibernate.cache.EhCache but net.sf.ehcache,
it seems the wrong class, so i think i'm going the wrong way...

Regards,
Phil

See Hibernate API - SessionFactory.evict*



Hibernate just wraps around this one - this is the actual object that holds your cached entities.

Thanks a lot alesg,

It works. Just want to post the code here in case it could help people:
try {
org.hibernate.cache.EhCache ehcache = null;
Cache cache = cacheManager.getCache("region");
org.hibernate.cache.EhCache ehcache = new org.hibernate.cache.EhCache(cache);
ehcache.clear();
} catch (CacheException ce) {}
}finally {}

If you want to refresh your Hibernate pojos, better use SessionFactory.evict* - cache independent.
