[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2884?page=c... ] Anirudh Vyas commented on HHH-2884: ----------------------------------- Copied this from Documentation on Events comment, as i thought it'd be more appropriate. Hi, Hibernate Event System lacks documentation as well as some of the parts ( or i think so, correct me if i go wrong somewhere ). In the Event System ( for example OnSaveOrUpdateEvent ) It would be appropriate to move all the Event delegation based code to an Event Delegate which has all the listeners registered to it and then use a Broadcast agent to do broadcast ( or Fire an event in Hibernate Terminology ) the events and loop through listeners to check. something like : // fire the event SessionImpl.broadcastSaveEvent( SaveEvent( Phase.SAVE, Source etc etc ) , BaseEventDelegate ); // use a BroadCast interface and implement a DefaultBroadcastAgent and do something like DefaultBroadcastAgent.processBroadcast( BaseEventDelegate ) // broadcaster above uses event delegate passed to it to loop through listeners. // same as in SessionImpl. we could also check if listeners passed to this was an appropriate listener or not. Let me know in case you need more clarifications.
