Hibernate 2nd level cache invalidation when another process modifies the database

Question

We have an application that uses Hibernate\'s 2nd level caching to avoid database hits.

I was wondering if there is some easy way to invalidate the Java application

Answer 1

I was searching how to invalidate all Hibernate caches and I found this useful snippet:

sessionFactory.getCache().evictQueryRegions();
sessionFactory.getCache().evictDefaultQueryRegion();
sessionFactory.getCache().evictCollectionRegions();
sessionFactory.getCache().evictEntityRegions();

Hope it helps to someone else.
