In hibernate reference about the CacheMode
http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/re ... ssioncache



Does that mean in CacheMode.PUT, any update made in the session will be put in the cache but anything read (but not updated by the session) will not be put in second-level cache.

Or in other words, if say an entity A in the second-level cache is stale, in CacheMode.PUT, after it is read from DB, the updated value will not be put into the cache?

Thanks.


Hibernate version:
3.2.2ga

I am also interested in the answer to this question. Is there any case where using CacheMode.PUT would read an entity that currently exists in the 2nd level cache and not replace it?
