Situation in Hibernate 5

The test case attached to this issue uses MyIntegrator }} to install an interceptor using {{SessionFactoryBuilder.applyInterceptor.

public void integrate(Metadata metadata, SessionFactoryImplementor sessionFactory, SessionFactoryServiceRegistry serviceRegistry) {
	metadata.getSessionFactoryBuilder().applyInterceptor(new GlobalInterceptor());
}

Expected:

• The interceptor should be used for new sessions used by the JPA entity manager
• Specifically: The method GlobalInterceptor.onSave should be called when EntityManager.persist gets called

Observed:

• The interceptor is not used at all when using the JPA EntityManager

Situation in Hibernate 4

Using Hiberante 4.3 is was possible to install an interceptor using Configuration .setInterceptor.

public class MyIntegrator implements Integrator {
    @Override
    public void integrate(Configuration configuration, SessionFactoryImplementor sessionFactory, SessionFactoryServiceRegistry serviceRegistry) {
        configuration.setInterceptor(new GlobalInterceptor());
    }

    ...
}

Misc

We discovered this issue while upgrading to Wildfly 10.1.0 which includes Hibernate 5.0.10.
This is a critical issue from our point of view, as we have not yet discoverd another hook to install interceptors. Since we are working with the JPA EntityManger we can not use the Session API.
