You have to inflate your cache anew from DB in every transaction. You don't have any data when you start. However I don't think you are right in your assessment. Googling "Hibernate second level cache" shows that its scope goes beyond a single session. And hence my original question - how do they reconcile second level cache presence and the promise of 100% data consistency. My answer is that they don't. So their bigger argument about data consistency is moot. Andrus
