Hi Colin,

Cayenne internal cache state is in no way related to the connection state - it can survive closing connections, etc. If you are connecting to a separate DB process, Cayenne cache management techniques (as mentioned by Marcin, and what you found in the docs), is the only thing you need to know.

Embedded DB's add a whole other dimension to that by keeping committed data in memory at the driver level - something Cayenne is not aware of. So anything you do with "clearCache" or RefreshQuery, etc., affects Cayenne cache, and not the embedded DB JDBC layer. So here you'd need to read the embedded DB docs (is that Derby, HSQL, H2?) and see what they recommend to do in such situation. There maybe a SQL query that would shutdown/reopen the file, or something else (like restarting the DataSource).

Thanks Andrus - but shouldn't something like getQueryCache().clear() at least clear any cache so that cayenne will retrieve the data fresh from the DB once the file has been overwritten? (Even if the connection isn't closed
properly while this is happening.) This doesn't seem to be having any
effect.

I've also tried to look at the CAY-632 RefreshQuery, or
context.invalidateObjects(), but really wanted to refresh the whole cache - not just a particular collection of objects. Perhaps I just need to know how
to use these correctly.

Any suggestions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Colin.

Cayenne itself works with a DataSource. All connection management and
starting and stopping the embedded DB is deferred to the DataSource
and is beyond Cayenne scope. The default DataSource implementation
pools connections. If you need a different policy, you need to provide
a DataSource that does whatever is appropriate in your environment.
Custom DataSource is installed by providing a special
DataSourceFactory for a give DataNode in the Modeler.
