Hibernate version: 3.0.5

Mapping documents:

Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():


Full stack trace of any exception that occurs: N/A

Name and version of the database you are using: Oracle 9

The generated SQL (show_sql=true): N/A

Debug level Hibernate log excerpt: N/A


Is there anyway to turn off the first level cache? I was using .clear(), but now with leveraging lazy loading, I receive an "evicted collection" exception after the clear. Any ideas or suggestions?

close the session

If you close the session, then you cannot use the lazy loading.

From Hibernate in Action...."The first-level cache is mandatory and can’t be turned off"

As anyone come across this caching problem? I can't have any cache on because the data is constantly modified outside of Hibernate.

the case you describe happens in a full transactional with the correct isolation) system even wo Hibernate.

to refresh an object use .refresh()

Yes I have seen that and it looks like the only solution.

Thank you very much for your help.
