I'm seeing an issue with cacheing. I'm not sure if this is a setting to be altered using hibernate or something else.

So on a login screen i have some stats i'm showing to the user, one being their favorite venues.



after i navigate to a new page and add a new venue to my favorites (using DWR ajax), i can see the new values being added to the DB.
When i return to the login page, i dont see the updated list. I thought that those cascade settings would force hibernate to requery the list.

Here is the code on the page.


I should also mention that after a forced refresh (F5 or CTRL R) the results stay the same :(

Thanks

How are you adding the new items to the collection? If you're using merge(), don't forget that the return value of merge() is the merged copy. If you're storing the User around somewhere it is now going to be stale...

did u perform refresh on main object?

CORRECT!
After commiting the transaction i never updated the User session object. That aught to do it.

Thanks!

Now i'm doing this update by calling a servlet using ajax, is there a way to know when the servlet has completed? The idea is that onclick, run servlet, on complete, if status of servlet (using a session var) is good, then change area on page using ajax.

I'm thinking of using a js delay to check the session var after click (that could potentially not exist) and do the rest, but i fear that the delay is not a safe method of doing this.

Any tips?

in the place where u saves after commit:

EntityManagerHelper.getEntityManager().refresh(<user entity>);
