Re: [eclipselink-users] J2SE Caching Strategy?

Sorry to continue to make this thread harder to read than it has to,
but I see I read the javadocs wrong.

alwaysRefresh causes the *cache* to always be refreshed WHEN you hit the DB.

disableHits causes the entity to skip cache hits and go directly to
the databaase, unfortunately this doesn't appear to be working either
though, so I'll keep huntin'.
