Hello,

I read about this level of caching in Hibernate. It's said that whenever I pass an object to save(), update() or saveOrUpdate(), that object will be added to session cache. But when investigating the SessionImpl class of Hibernate, I followed to this chain:

DefaultSaveOrUpdateEventListener : performSaveOrUpdate => entityIsTransient => saveWithGeneratedOrRequestedId

AbstractSaveEventListener : saveWithGeneratedId => performSave => performSaveOrReplicate

EntityIdentityInsertAction : execute

But I don't see any code which responsibility is to put that object to a session cache. Can anyone tell me that?

Thanks,
HTS

the session itself does keep references, that's what is also called the "first level cache", and that's why it can't be disabled.
