event listener (prepersist, preinsert) not firing -------------------------------------------------- Key: EJB-342 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/EJB-342 Project: Hibernate Entity Manager Issue Type: Bug Components: EntityManager Affects Versions: 3.3.1.GA Environment: jdk1.5.0_12, linux 2.6 Reporter: Adam Hardy I have a superclass with several properties, including 'modified', a datetime field which a prepersistlistener should update. All my entities inherit this superclass. The superclass is mapped with the appropriate prepersist listener identifying the callback method to call. <mapped-superclass class="org.permacode.atomic.domain.AtomicEntity" access="FIELD"> <pre-persist method-name="prePersistCallBack" /> <attributes> <basic name="ownerId"> <column name="OWNER_ID" /> </basic> <basic name="created"> <column name="CREATED" /> <temporal>DATE</temporal> </basic> <basic name="modified"> <column name="MODIFIED" /> <temporal>DATE</temporal> </basic> <version name="version"> <column name="VERSION" /> </version> </attributes> </mapped-superclass> The method prePersistCallBack() is on the superclass: public void prePersistCallBack() { this.modified = new Date(); logger.info("doing prePersistCallBack() - " + this + " - modified=" + this.modified); } I see no logging and I see the SQL statement contains the untouched modified value. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
