Invalidate a read-only entity bean

[jdoe7890]

How I programmatically invalidate a read-only entity bean ?

The only portable way of doing this is a hack.

You have a method on the entity that throws
a RuntimeException. By spec, this removes
the entity from the cache.

JBoss allows you to flush the whole cache,
either through the MBean interface or using
commit-option D.

You can always extend the cache implementation
to provide an invalidation mechanism,
e.g. the clustered cache invalidation
