[hibernate-users] Problem with Hibernate Event Listener

Hi all, I am trying to configure Hibernate Event Listener in a Spring-Hibernate project. Spring (3.2.3), Hibernate(4.2.1.Final). The problem I am having is that I have SaveOrUpdate and PreUpdate events triggered when I load an entity. This is causing issues for me as I cannot differentiate between a user read event and a save/update event. Kindly advise on how best to go about this. @Component @Log4j public class TicketHibernateEventListener implements SaveOrUpdateEventListener, PostLoadEventListener { @Inject VoucherService voucherService; @Override public void onSaveOrUpdate(SaveOrUpdateEvent evt) throws HibernateException { log.debug(">>>>>>>onSaveOrUpdate by: " + evt.getEntityName()); } @Override public void onPostLoad(PostLoadEvent evt) { log.debug(">>>>>>>onPostLoad by: " + evt.getEntity()); } }
