Hi,

I would to set up the Hibernate query cache to update itself at periodic intervals say every 5 minutes.

How do I go about doing that?

Also is it possible to programatically access this cache for forcing manual updates?

I am relatively new to Hiernate and any pointers or tutorials would be great.

thanks

You could spawn a thread that called session.clear, but then you'd have synchronization issues. You could alternatively write a wrapper class around SessionImpl that maintained a time-of-last-access, and called session.clear before any call to get, load, getNamedQuery, etc. if now - lastaccesstime > 5min.

You can get a handle to the ehcache cache using net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager.getInstance().
