[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-5722) Method annotated with @PreUpdade is not called

Method annotated with @PreUpdade is not called ---------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5722 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5722 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: entity-manager Affects Versions: 3.6.0 Environment: Java 1.6.0_21, Windows and Linux Reporter: Oleksandr Alesinskyy Assignee: Gail Badner I have a class with methods annotated @PostLoad, @PrePersist, and @PreUpdate as below: {code:title=Snippet} @Transient private B2BCustomerKeyPo b2BCustomerKey; @Embedded @AttributeOverrides( { @AttributeOverride(name = "username", column = @Column(name = "APPLICATION_NAME")), @AttributeOverride(name = "b2BCustomerName", column = @Column(name = "B2BCUSTOMER_NAME")) }) private UserKeyPo applicationKey; ... @SuppressWarnings("unused") @PostLoad private void postLoad() { if (applicationKey != null) { if (applicationKey.getB2BCustomerName() != null) { b2BCustomerKey = new B2BCustomerKeyPo(applicationKey.getB2BCustomerName()); } if (applicationKey.getUsername() == null) applicationKey = null; } } @SuppressWarnings("unused") @PrePersist private void prePersist() { if (b2BCustomerKey != null) { if (applicationKey != null) { if (!b2BCustomerKey.equals(new B2BCustomerKeyPo(applicationKey.getB2BCustomerName()))) { final String msg = String .format( "B2B customer [%s] of the product does not match the Application of the product [%s/%s]", b2BCustomerKey.getName(), applicationKey.getB2BCustomerName(), applicationKey.getUsername()); throw new IllegalStateException(msg); } } else { applicationKey = new UserKeyPo(b2BCustomerKey.getName(), null); } } } @SuppressWarnings("unused") @PreUpdate private void preUpdate() { throw new RuntimeException("§TEST§"); } {code} prePersist and postLoad methods work as expected but preUpdate method is not called at all - while updated fields are dutifully written into DB (they never would if preUopdate will be called). The code manipulating the object is as below: {code:title=Snippet2} ProductPo productPoOld = readProductPo(input.getProduct().getProductKey().getExternalProductKey()); ... B2BCustomerKey b2bCustomerKey = productNew.getB2BCustomerKey(); productPoOld.setB2BCustomerKey(mappingHelper.mapObject(productNew.getB2BCustomerKey(), B2BCustomerKeyPo.class)); LOG.debug(productPoOld.getB2BCustomerKey()); // @PreUpdate method is not called regardless if flush is present below or not productDao.flush(); {code}
