DISABLING AND RELOADING ENTERPRISE JAVA BEANS USING DATABASE TRIGGER PROGRAMS

Methods and systems for maintaining coherency of data such as between data contained in executable code and a source location of the data (e.g., a table of a database). In a particular embodiment, an enterprise Java Bean (EJB) is hydrated with data retrieved from a database data structure having a trigger defined thereon. The trigger is fired in response to modifying the data structure. In response to firing the trigger, it is determined whether an invalidation criterion for the EJB has been satisfied. If so, the EJB is invalidated.
