Consider this: I'm uing ObjectCacheDefaultImpl 1) I have an A which contains (has a reference to) a B. 2) B has a name property. 3) When I load A (oid=1), B(oid=2) gets loaded. 4) Now the cache looks like this { A(1)[B(2)], B(2) } ( A is in the cache, and refers to B. B is in the cache). 5) I begin a transaction, and lock B(2) into it so I can change it's name. 6) I change it's name. 7) Something happens, and the transaction is rolled back. 8) B gets flushed from the cache, because the name it has is now invalid. { A(1)[B(2)] } (A is in the cache and refers to B). 9) I know load B(oid=2) and get B' The cache is { A(1)[B(2)] B'(2) } B and B' now refer to the same logical object (oid=2), but they have different name values. Depending on how I happen to access the code (direct load of B vs. asking A for it's B), I get two entirely different results. This seems to me like a *very* serious problem. The only solution I can see (and it is not without consequences) is to not cache the actual object, but to cache the columnar data for the object, and then reconstruct the object "on demand".
