Hibernate :Collections can also be cached

[RaviNada Kiran]

Hello All,

What is the use specifying this way : <cache usage="read-only"/>


A hbm file is consisting similar to like this :

 
    <set name="attendees">
        <cache usage="read-only"/>
            </set> 
   

As you all know this is the child object associated with the Parent (Primary Key and Foreign Key)


<cache usage="read-only"/>

what i think is any modifications made to the child table when loaded with a Parent table will not be affected ??
Am i right ? Waiting for your responses.

Any updates made to the child within this parent will be persisted/reflected in the DB, but the cache corresponding to this parent-child relationship will not be updated (i.e. it will be stale) since its marked read-only.
