Hi,
I am using Hibernate L2 cache in my project and using EHCache as the caching provider. Hibernate version is 4.3.11 and EHCache 2.10.5.
The question I have is:
Hibernate will take care of updating the L2 cache when writes (inserts and updates) are done through Hibernate itself. Please correct me if I am wrong.
However when the database is updated through some other means, by some other application thus bypassing the Hibernate in my application, then Hibernate has no way to know that data has changed in the backend. In this case, the other application that updated the backend can send a notification to my application which can then use Hibernate API to invalidate the cache?
Or is there any other way to get around this?
