Primary cache in Hibernate

Let us understand Primary cache in Hibernate


Primary cache is associated with Session and its enabled by default.

So we don’t need to configure anything to enable the Primary cache in our application.

Since it is associated with Session, primary cache will be available as long as hibernate session is alive.

Once the session is closed, all the objects in the cache will be lost.

Important points about Primary cache

Primary cache is always associated with “Hibernate Session

Primary cache is enabled by default and we don’t need to do any additional settings to enable it.

Primary cache can not be disabled but can be cleared.

When we query for an entity , first time it loads from database and it will keep it in the First level cache associated with the Session.

If we request the same entity using same session again , then it will be loaded from cache and no database call will be made.

If we want to remove a specific entity from primary cache , we can use evict() method.

If we want to remove all the objects stored in the primary cache, then we can use clear() method.

Lets see the complete project on this

Step 1

Create hibernate project

Please refer Hibernate setup in eclipse article on how to do it.

	// Commit the transaction and close the session
	t.commit();
	
	session.close();
	System.out.println("successfully persisted Employee details");

  }
}

Step 7

Check the output and queries executed

primary_cache_data_populate

Step 8

Create test class for loading object within same session

  1. package com.kb.db;
  2.  
  3. import org.hibernate.Session;
  4. import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
  5.  
  6. import com.kb.model.Employee;
  7. import com.kb.util.HibernateUtil;
  8.  
  9. public class PrimaryCacheWithinSameSession {
  10.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  11.         // Get session factory using Hibernate Util class
  12.         SessionFactory sf = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();
  13.         // Get session from Session factory
  14.         Session session = sf.openSession();
  15.        
  16.         //Load the Employee details whose Id is 1
  17.         Employee employee = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(1));
  18.         displayEmployeeDetails(employee);
  19.        
  20.         //Load the same Employee again within the same Session
  21.         employee = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(1));
  22.         displayEmployeeDetails(employee);
  23.         session.close();
  24.     }
  25.  
  26.     private static void displayEmployeeDetails(Employee employee) {
  27.         System.out.println(
  28.                 "ID: " + employee.getEmployeeId() + " Age: " + employee.getAge() + " Salary: " + employee.getSalary());
  29.     }
  30.  
  31. }
package com.kb.db;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import com.kb.model.Employee;
import com.kb.util.HibernateUtil;

public class PrimaryCacheWithinSameSession {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// Get session factory using Hibernate Util class
		SessionFactory sf = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();
		// Get session from Session factory
		Session session = sf.openSession();
		
		//Load the Employee details whose Id is 1
		Employee employee = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(1));
		displayEmployeeDetails(employee);
		
		//Load the same Employee again within the same Session
		employee = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(1));
		displayEmployeeDetails(employee);
		session.close();
	}

	private static void displayEmployeeDetails(Employee employee) {
		System.out.println(
				"ID: " + employee.getEmployeeId() + " Age: " + employee.getAge() + " Salary: " + employee.getSalary());
	}

}

Step 9

Check the output and queries executed

primary_cache_same_session_output

We can observe in the output that query is executed only once as same enity is loaded using same session and hence it is loaded from primary cache.

Step 10

Create test class for loading object with new session

  1. package com.kb.db;
  2.  
  3. import org.hibernate.Session;
  4. import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
  5.  
  6. import com.kb.model.Employee;
  7. import com.kb.util.HibernateUtil;
  8.  
  9. public class PrimaryCacheWithNewSession {
  10.     @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
  11.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  12.        
  13.         // Get session factory using Hibernate Util class
  14.         SessionFactory sf = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();
  15.        
  16.         // Get session from Session factory
  17.         Session session1 = sf.openSession();
  18.  
  19.         // Load the Employee details whose Id is 1
  20.         Employee employee = (Employee) session1.load(Employee.class, new Integer(1));
  21.         displayEmployeeDetails(employee);
  22.  
  23.         //Create a new Session
  24.         Session session2 = sf.openSession();
  25.         // Load the same Employee again with new Session
  26.         employee = (Employee) session2.load(Employee.class, new Integer(1));
  27.         displayEmployeeDetails(employee);
  28.         session1.close();
  29.         session2.close();
  30.     }
  31.     private static void displayEmployeeDetails(Employee employee) {
  32.         System.out.println(
  33.                 "ID: " + employee.getEmployeeId() + " Age: " + employee.getAge() + " Salary: " + employee.getSalary());
  34.     }
  35.  
  36. }

				"ID: " + employee.getEmployeeId() + " Age: " + employee.getAge() + " Salary: " + employee.getSalary());
	}

}

Step 11

Check the output and queries executed

primary_cache_new_session_output

We can observe in the output that,same query is executed twice for the same entity as it is loaded using different session.

Step 12

Create test class for clearing session cache and evict() methods

  1. package com.kb.db;
  2.  
  3. import org.hibernate.Session;
  4. import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
  5.  
  6. import com.kb.model.Employee;
  7. import com.kb.util.HibernateUtil;
  8.  
  9. public class PrimaryCacheEvict {
  10.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  11.         // Get session factory using Hibernate Util class
  12.         SessionFactory sf = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();
  13.         // Get session from Session factory
  14.         Session session = sf.openSession();
  15.  
  16.         // Load the Employee details whose Id is 1
  17.         Employee employee = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(1));
  18.         displayEmployeeDetails(employee);
  19.  
  20.         session.evict(employee);
  21.        
  22.         // Load the same Employee again within the same Session but after evict
  23.         employee = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(1));
  24.         displayEmployeeDetails(employee);
  25.  
  26.        
  27.  
  28.         // Load the Employee details whose Id is 2
  29.         Employee employee1 = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(2));
  30.         displayEmployeeDetails(employee1);
  31.  
  32.         // Load the Employee details whose Id is 3
  33.         Employee employee2 = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(3));
  34.         displayEmployeeDetails(employee2);
  35.  
  36.         session.clear();
  37.  
  38.         //Load the employees after clearing the primary cache
  39.        
  40.         // Load the Employee details whose Id is 2
  41.         employee1 = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(2));
  42.         displayEmployeeDetails(employee);
  43.  
  44.         // Load the Employee details whose Id is 3
  45.         employee2 = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(3));
  46.         displayEmployeeDetails(employee2);
  47.  
  48.         session.close();
  49.     }
  50.  
  51.     private static void displayEmployeeDetails(Employee employee) {
  52.         System.out.println(
  53.                 "ID: " + employee.getEmployeeId() + " Age: " + employee.getAge() + " Salary: " + employee.getSalary());
  54.     }
  55.  
  56. }
package com.kb.db;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import com.kb.model.Employee;
import com.kb.util.HibernateUtil;

public class PrimaryCacheEvict {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// Get session factory using Hibernate Util class
		SessionFactory sf = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();
		// Get session from Session factory
		Session session = sf.openSession();

		// Load the Employee details whose Id is 1
		Employee employee = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(1));
		displayEmployeeDetails(employee);

		session.evict(employee);
		
		// Load the same Employee again within the same Session but after evict
		employee = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(1));
		displayEmployeeDetails(employee);

		

		// Load the Employee details whose Id is 2
		Employee employee1 = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(2));
		displayEmployeeDetails(employee1);

		// Load the Employee details whose Id is 3
		Employee employee2 = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(3));
		displayEmployeeDetails(employee2);

		session.clear();

		//Load the employees after clearing the primary cache
		
		// Load the Employee details whose Id is 2
		employee1 = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(2));
		displayEmployeeDetails(employee);

		// Load the Employee details whose Id is 3
		employee2 = (Employee) session.load(Employee.class, new Integer(3));
		displayEmployeeDetails(employee2);

		session.close();
	}

	private static void displayEmployeeDetails(Employee employee) {
		System.out.println(
				"ID: " + employee.getEmployeeId() + " Age: " + employee.getAge() + " Salary: " + employee.getSalary());
	}

}

Step 13

Check the output and queries executed

primary_cache_evict1
primary_cache_evict2
primary_cache_evict3

We can observe in the output that, after evict() and clear() method execution ,cache is getting cleared and hence queries are executed to get the data from DB.
