Let me clarify. Access stack structure we are talking about is shown
on this picture:
http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/images/userguide/cache-level2.gif
DataRowStore scope is normally the entire application. It is shared
by multiple sessions and outlives most of them. Its max object size
is managed by Cayenne using the hint set in the Modeler.
DataContext has its own second-level local cache (ObjectStore).
ObjectStore has no upper limit on the number of entries and hence can
potentially grow indefinitely. By design it is responsibility of a
user to avoid that, still in most cases you simply wouldn't care as
each individual session doesn't have too many objects and has a
limited life-span.
In cases when you do (e.g. batch processing described by Jürgen), one
strategy to deal with this is to replace session DataContext with a
new instance when it grows too big. Another one was described in a
quoted message. Essentially it is a common-sense decision based on
your usage pattern.
