Mybatis caching and concurrent modfications - mybatis

Question

I am using mybatis 3.0.4 for a test against a mysql 5.5 database with mysql-connector JDBC driver, version 5.1.16.
The problem I am experiencing is that if I get a SqlSession via openSession() method and i retrieve data via a select from database, subsequent selects in same session are not aware of changes made (and committed) to database even if i call clearCache() on session. To concurrently modify database I am using Mysql command line client. Setting cacheEnabled as false in configuration file doesn't help too.
I enclose configuration file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE configuration
PUBLIC "-//ibatis.apache.org//DTD Config 3.0//EN"
"http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/ibatis-3-config.dtd">

<setting name="lazyLoadingEnabled" value="false"/>
<setting name="cacheEnabled" value="false"/>

Answer 1

Ok, solved by myself. It was not a mybatis issue, it depended on Transaction isolation on JDBC driver, which was by default TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ, I needed TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED instead. Solved with:
getSessionFactory().openSession(TransactionIsolationLevel.READ_COMMITTED);
