not sure what part of your question is still open - eclipselink uses caching, you best look this up in the doco.
If you change the object returned by eclipselink you make the cached object dirty.
So you have at least two options - either work on a copy (clone) of the cached object and merge this back when the change is committed or work on the original and refresh if cancelled

hope this helps

hey
seems like something weird happened to my thread.
well, after a little research, i got the way i'm instantiating my entitymanager is causing this
i'm using a local thread, and do like this

public static EntityManager createEntityManager() {
		EntityManager entityManager = ENTITY_MANAGER_CACHE.get();
		if (entityManager == null) {
			init();
			ENTITY_MANAGER_CACHE.set(entityManager = emf.createEntityManager());
		}
		return entityManager;
	}

this way, i have only one entityManger per thread, and i think this is causing this strange behavior
any ideas?

You are sharing an EntityManager which is essentially a transactional context - you are likely in an extended environment. The cache settings you have been using are for the shared cache, which is used between EntityManager instances, and does not affect individual EntityManagers which are required to keep managed entities in the cache until they are cleared.

As Wolfgang mentioned, you will either need to detach entities and merge them back in when you want to persist changes, or refresh the entities when needed. To detach the entities, either close the EntityManager and obtain a new one, or call clear on it. Your shared cache settings will then come into play when reading from an empty EntityManager.
