how do i clean (remove) all nodes from a cache loader?

[gmeroz]

I use JDBCCache for a fast start up.

Sometimes i want to reload the cache from the begining (when some application configuration is changed).
i saw that if i remove every thing from the cache, the cache laoder does not delete records from DB. i want to make sure that if the server will be shuted down, the old data won't be loaded.

how do i clean it?

The cache loader should always reflect removes.

Make sure you're not using the cache loader in async mode, perhaps?

I'm not using async mode.

i made sure the cache is empty (nodes are not found anymore). but the JDBCCacheLoader's table content did not change.

i'm using JBossCache-all-2.0.0.ALPHA2 deployed on jboss-4.0.3SP1.

with the following configuration:

<attribute name="TransactionManagerLookupClass">org.jboss.cache.GenericTransactionManagerLookup</attribute>
 <attribute name="IsolationLevel">READ_COMMITTED</attribute>

 <attribute name="CacheMode">LOCAL</attribute>
 <attribute name="CacheLoaderConfiguration">
 <config>
 <passivation>false</passivation>
 <preload>/</preload>
 <shared>true</shared>

 <cacheloader>
 <!--<class>org.jboss.cache.loader.FileCacheLoader</class>-->
 <!--<properties>-->
 <!--location=d:\temp\jc-->
 <!--</properties>-->
 <class>org.jboss.cache.loader.JDBCCacheLoader</class>
 <properties>
 cache.jdbc.table.name=jbosscache_application
 cache.jdbc.table.create=true
 cache.jdbc.table.drop=true
 cache.jdbc.table.primarykey=jbosscache_application_pk
 cache.jdbc.fqn.column=fqn
 cache.jdbc.fqn.type=varchar(255)
 cache.jdbc.node.column=node
 cache.jdbc.node.type=blob
 cache.jdbc.parent.column=parent
 cache.jdbc.datasource=java:/beDS
 </properties>

 <async>false</async>
 <fetchPersistentState>false</fetchPersistentState>
 <ignoreModifications>false</ignoreModifications>
 <purgeOnStartup>false</purgeOnStartup>
 </cacheloader>
 </config>
 </attribute>

What can explain this behaviour?

I'd recomend trying out BETA1, which should be out in a few days - the JDBC cache loader has been changed a lot.
