Hi Nicolas,

Could you let us know the error you're getting?

Hi,

Restarting Alfresco solved my problem, but I still have a question

I am using JBuilder and running my class from it. I get no error, but the content of the new property is null.
I can't see the created object in Alfresco UI too.

I have to restart Alfresco to see the new object/attribute value in the web UI.

I can't anderstand this lag.

Regards,

Nicolas

That's due to the caching in the Alfresco server. The running server will have no idea that your local test client has modified the persistent store state.

If you wish to run a remote client against the server, you either have to use the Alfresco web service interfaces, JCR-RMI (see http://www.alfresco.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=488) or provide your own remote facade onto our services.

Or for testing/experimental purposes you can switch off the level 2 cache in the server by setting (in alfresco/domain/hibernate-cfg.properties):

hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache=true

to

hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache=false

This will then allow you to refresh the web client without re-starting - but of course it may be slower.

Hi,

Is there a way to force the Alfresco cache to refresh after inserting a big amount of data?

Thanks.
