I’m writing some integration tests for a Spring/Hibernate app I’m working on, and I would like to to test things with as close to real conditions as possible, which includes using Hibernate’s second level cache and committing transactions.

I was wondering if there was an efficient way to ask Hibernate to delete everything from the database and the caches. The best I could come up with was using an HQL “delete from XImpl” line for every type of object, but I have a couple dozen domain objects, and it feels like there should be a better way.

    For the database, use the SchemaExport tool to recreate the schema:

    Configuration cfg = ....;
new SchemaExport(cfg).create(false, true);

    For the 2nd level cache, get access to the underlying cache regions from the SessionFactory and evict everything:

    SessionFactory sf = ...;
Cache cache = sf.getCache();
cache.evictEntityRegions();
cache.evictCollectionRegions();
cache.evictQueryRegions();

    For the 1st level cache, well, simply get a new Session or call session.clear().
