Is there a way to automatically expire entity from cache when using EM's find()? [message #389446]

I'm using extensively EntityManager's find() method to retrieve entities.
My issue is, that sometimes also external systems update the database, and
I need to pick up the changes, not immediately after they occur but in ten
minutes. find() method seems to ignore expiry time set using @Cache
annotation.

Is there any other way to refresh the entity than to call
EntityManager.refresh() method explicitly?

If not, is there a way to disable cache usage for find() method
completely? (I haven't yet been able to verify whether setting CacheType
to none does the trick, as it throws an error as I posted five minutes
ago.)

find() should not be ignoring the cache invalidation time, I can't see how
this could occur. Ensure that the object has been invalidated or expired.
If you have already read the object into the persistence context
(transaction/entity-manager) then find() will (must) return the same
object for transaction isolation and will not check invalidation. Ensure
you have not already read the object in the same EntityManager.

Setting shared=false will disable the shared cache (but not the local
EntityManager cache, to avoid that you must clear the EntityManager, or
create a new one).

Thanks once again James. I was experiencing with the cache using the same
transaction. It started to work perfectly after starting a new
transaction. That's great.
