How does Hibernate READ_WRITE CacheConcurrencyStrategy work

Introduction In my previous post, I introduced the NONSTRICT_READ_WRITE second-level cache concurrency mechanism. In this article, I am going to continue this topic with the READ_WRITE strategy.

How does Hibernate NONSTRICT_READ_WRITE CacheConcurrencyStrategy work

Introduction In my previous post, I introduced the READ_ONLY CacheConcurrencyStrategy, which is the obvious choice for immutable entity graphs. When cached data is changeable, we need to use a read-write caching strategy and this post will describe how NONSTRICT_READ_WRITE second-level cache works.

How does Hibernate Collection Cache work

Introduction Previously, I described the second-level cache entry structure, Hibernate uses for storing entities. Besides entities, Hibernate can also store entity associations and this article will unravel the inner workings of collection caching.

How to optimize unidirectional collections with JPA and Hibernate

Introduction Hibernate supports three data mapping types: basic (e.g String, int), Embeddable and Entity. Most often, a database row is mapped to an Entity, each database column being associated to a basic attribute. Embeddable types are more common when combining several field mappings into a reusable group (the Embeddable being merged into the owning Entity mapping structure). Both basic types and Embeddables can be associated to an Entity through the @ElementCollection, in a one-Entity-many-non-Entity relationship. Although we are going to explain these optimizations using an @ElementCollection, the same rules apply to any… Read More
