Hi Gordon,
Thanks a lot for clarifying cache issues.
I tried clearing up database through EntityManager.remove() API and now
running into some other issues. Please advice if my usage is incorrect
Test is setup as follows:
Appclient-->SessionBean-->Entities

Session Bean has two separate business methods "runPersistenceTest"
which populate the rows and "cleanUp" which deletes the row after
calling EntityManager.remove()

Populating the row goes on fine, but when I try to remove it, I am now
getting exception,
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Entity must be managed to
call remove: ID: 2: name :Betty: city :Sunnyvale, try merging the
detatched and try the remove again.

sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)

Just to be extra sure, I am now calling EntityManager.merge () and then
check if entity is in managed state by calling "contains". "contains"
returns FALSE, and if I still call "remove" then I get above mentioned
exception. I have specified a VERSION column as well for all three
entities , and test is run on Derby datatabase All transaction
attributes on session bean's business methods are Defaults which is
"REQUIRED"

If cleanUp () is called inside runPersistenceTest , then I am able to
call entities.remove successfully. But if it is invoked as a separate
business method from application client, then even after calling merge,
entity is in detached state.

Generally users have no issue with stale data (outside of the standard concurrency issues) but if the end user has processes modifying the data external to TopLink there are configuration options for handling the external updates. With the EJB 3.0 specification however there is no clear mechanism for providing support for configuring TopLink to handle externally modified data. We are currently evaluating our options and will hopefully have a solution soon.
