How do I delay cache invalidation until transaction has finished

[tstiemerling]

We are using WildFly 16 with an Infinispan invalidation cache for business objects backed by JPA entities. When we update an entity in a method bounded by a JTA transaction, we want the evict to go out only after the transaction successfully commits, to prevent race conditions where the cache is re-filled with the old object. Does Infinispan provide any help with this? Doing it with JPA or JTA callbacks seems complicated and error prone.

This should already be happening. We use tombstones to avoid this kind of scenarios. Are you having any specific issues?

Thanks, we are not having issues, but the documentation was not really explicit on that point, so I wanted to make sure that there would not in fact be any kind of synchronization issues.
