I confess to being a bit of a newbie but need help on something that I can't get my head around.

I am developing an ajax web application (but perhaps that's not so relevant) and once a collection of objects has been loaded from the DB I display the records in a table. How can I force the table to be reloaded each time the page gets refreshed. When I *try* to build the list again I just get the same records back.

I have for example a customer record with associated records. I do something like myList = customer.getRecords() but I guess that customer is in the cache and the records have been loaded and are also in the cache. I need to clean the cache but have failed so far.

Any pointers will be very helpful,

Thanks...

The easiest but not most effective way would be to reload your customer everytime the page is refreshed.

Also you could retrieve records not via customer.getRecords(), but implement some other data access method, which executes an HQL-Query to select all records of a customer, so that you could call "someDAO.loadCustomerRecords(customer)"
