    I've come across the same behavior, I think. I have three Oracle tables,
    Employee, Role, and a join table EmployeeRole. Employee has a 1-to-many
    relationship "roles"; it's a flattened relationship
    Employee->Employee_Role and Employee_Role->Role.

    The first query for a list of employees works fine. I can see from the
    SQL logging that the employees are fetched and then each employee's
    roles are fetched.

    When the query is repeated, only the employees are refetched. If some
    other user session (in another browser -- same localhost-server JVM,
    different DataContext) has changed an employee's roles, the change is
    not seen in the first session.

    I tried adding query.addPrefetch("employeeRoles.role") but that didn't
    help. I tried invalidateObjects() and query.setRefreshingObjects(true).

    Other details:
    * There is a corresponding reverse relationship Role.employees.
    * A simpler 1-to-1 relationship didn't have any trouble.
    * I'm using version 1.1M6.

    HTH,
    Bryan
