Not possible to specify a SessionFactory-scoped interceptor ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-7146 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7146 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 4.1.0 Environment: Hibernate ORM 4.1.0 Final (2012-02-09) Issue is independent of OS and DB system. Reporter: Wolfram Langer With the new approach to instantiate a SessionFactory (i.e. ServiceRegistryBuilder -> ServicesRegistry -> MetadataSources -> Metadata -> SessionFactory) it is not possible to define a SessionFactory-scoped interceptor. I checked the source code and it appears that an EmptyInterceptor is hard-coded. SessionFactoryBuilderImpl: buildSessionFactory(MetadataImplementor metadata) { this.metadata = metadata; options = new SessionFactoryOptionsImpl(); } SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() { return new SessionFactoryImpl(metadata, options, null ); } and instantiation of class SessionFactoryOptionsImpl has usage of the EmptyInterceptor hard-coded. In contrast, the older code directly instantiates a SessionFactoryImpl an makes use of the interceptor that is specified in the Configuration. My recommendations: 1.) Provide a point to specify the SessionFactory-scoped interceptor where approriate (at the ServiceRegistry?) 2.) Provide SessionFactory.setInterceptor(Interceptor) - unless this would be against the idea of configuring the SessionFactory by other means before instantiation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
