What you would likely do is a two-pronged approach: - Have a POJO that talks to the DB, performs updates, reads, etc. - Have an HttpSessionListener that keeps track of your sessions and is notified by the POJO when the DB data changes. This session listener, upon notification, can crawl through the sessions and nullify/regenerate/whatever you want to with the dirty data. The above approach is fairly generic, but not the most efficient in the world.
