Hi,

Is hibernate able to share cached data among different sessions?
I mean, if i'm running a webapp that opens an hibernate session on each request to
read-only some data... will hibernate be able to serve cached data for the next requests?


thanks

Read the documentation, chapter 14.

that's what i did but i did not understand clearly. It seems that sessions have "private cache" and not shared one. but i'm going to read it again and again :)

first level cache = session = unit of work cache (cache used per httpRequest for example)

second level cache = application cache (for one cluster or multi cluster if your cache support it) = cache shared by all session = cache shared by all the application
