Flushing the Entity Engine cache ?

[Grant Edwards-2]

Hi

My process is as follows:

1) Log an entity to the db reconrding job start time and some status
2) Run the job
3) Update the entity from step 1) with job end time and further status
requirements


The first two step run with out a problem, but step 3 throws the exception
seen below. Is it possible to do something like flush the entity cache after
step 1 ?


---- exception report
----------------------------------------------------------
Service [updateJobLogEntry] threw an unexpected exception/error
Exception: org.ofbiz.service.GenericServiceException
Message: Service target threw an unexpected exception (This object has been
flagged as immutable (unchangeable), probably because it came from an Entity
Engine cache. Cannot set a value in an immutable entity object.)
---- stack trace
---------------------------------------------------------------

If you're doing an update you should never read from the cache. It  
used to be possible and caused lots of problems, so we added the error  
message you are seeing.

Thank you, just had another look at the code and was using
findByPrimaryCache
