[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-4143) PostRemove being called before entity is actually deleted

PostRemove being called before entity is actually deleted --------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4143 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4143 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: entity-manager Environment: Hibernate 3.2.1GA Entity Manager Hibernate core 3.2.2 GA Oracle 9i Windows XP professional service pack 2 No application server is being used. Reporter: Paul I have an EntityListener with a method annotated with postremove. It seems that the method is being called before the actual entity is deleted from the database. When configuring log4j with "debug" logging it appears that the method is being called after the PreparedStatement is created and configured but before executeUpdate() is called. I see the following statements in my log file before my listener is called 14:06:27,024 DEBUG AbstractBatcher:476 - preparing statement 14:06:27,024 DEBUG IntegerType:133 - binding '59532' to parameter: 1 My listener is called next. Then, the prepared statement is executed. This violates the EJB3 spec. The EJB3 spec states "The PostPersist and PostRemove methods will be invoked after the database insert and delete operations respectively."
