Hibernate version:
3.2


HI All,

I have configured in such a way that, i run a servlet which pulls the data from database and puts in to the L2 cache and i refer this cache hereafter. Problem is when ever updation is done on the datbase, the only way my L2 cache gets updated is by restarting my server and again running my servlet.
Is there a way to clear the L2 cache. if so is that entire L2 cache will be deleted or is there a way to clear only few object without restarting the server

if possible kindly let me know some examples
Thanks

Have you read section 19 of the ref docs? It tells you when it's not appropriate to use the L2 cache.

Also, you should check your CacheMode. You may be expecting it to work as if it was NORMAL, but you may have configured it as GET.

As to your question: if you're reading exclusively from the L2 cache, you must have a reference to the Cache. Cache has a clear() method. I don't know of a way to clear a single region, though.

Not sure if this is what you want, but SessionFactory has some evict methods that let you remove entities from the second-level cache.
