I wouldn't say it's a make or break feature for using OpenJPA, but it would be a bonus. I wouldn't mind making a contribution to add this feature. By the looks of how EclipseLink did things it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to implement (http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.persistence/trunk/foundation/ org.eclipse.persistence.oracle/src/org/eclipse/persistence/platform/database /oracle/dcn/OracleChangeNotificationListener.java ). I guess there would have to be some thought/discussion on configuration options. Maybe there could be an option that would allow control over how stale data is handled during the L2 window period?

Hi Will, OpenJPA does support L2 caching. But, it does not currently support the "database change notification" as specified in the EclipseLink documentation. We are looking at providing this type of notification support, but there is some concern about the "window" between the time that the data gets updated in the database and notifying the L2 cache to either remove or update the contents. You could argue that any window of time is better than no automatic notification, but the app still has to know that they could be processing stale data. And, closing the window completely may not actually even be desired since there could be a potential bottleneck at the notification and processing levels... It's good to have this conversation though... Are you indicating this lack of DCN processing is a make-or-break feature for your usage of OpenJPA? If so, would you be interested in helping to develop such a feature?
