I'm not, I'm just inferring that from the fact that a) Cayenne is recreating connections as needed, so it cannot rely on transactional repeatable-read properties and b) assuming that rechecking all cached records for being up-to-date whenever anything else is loaded or stored. > And in the critical data, Cayenne is able to present the > DBClient modified data immediately. This may be a side effect of having a webapp. It might be reloading all data on each request (that's what webapps often do). Or it might be refreshing all relevant data on each request. > For the most part, I have seen that the *default* Cayenne > behavior handles the "stale" issue pretty well.

But how would Cayenne achieve that and still have reasonable performance?
