Clearing convertEntity cache

[nickarls]

What should you do to refresh the convertEntity cache? I have a dropdown hooked up to a EntityQuery and a post-transaction-event that refreshes the query, I see the re-query, I see the changes in the DB and even pick them up in an dataTable over the same data but the dropdown remains unchanged.

I tried doing an entityManager.clear() and an evict on the entityManager.delegate hibernate session but no go.

Any suggestions?

I especially expected the clearing of the entitymanager tn work. And I'm pretty sure it's the correct EM...

I, got it working for some definition of working but clearing the entire entitymanager seems a bit like overkill since I end up with a lots of 'Value not valid' for other entityConverters. Any experiences in overriding components in the ui package for allowing refresh of a single entity?

Actually, I looked through the code and I can't see why the entity isn't refreshed OOTB. Since the entity itself is never stored, only the identifier (although the object itself is passed into the put in EIS), the new one should be picked up when ConvertEntity gets the object and the entityLoaders do their find.

And I have disabled 2nd level cache. And I'm talking to myself ;-)

Any theories?
