[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - How To Cancel Update in Home Object

Hello, If I override update() in a Home object, how can I stop the update from happening and roll back changes the user has made? Even better: Is there a way to have access to the old and new fields values? What I'd like to be able to do is know what the original value was so I can manually set it back in update(). Something like this: | @Override | public String update() { | if( getInstance().getFavoriteColor().equals("Red") ) { | MyHome mh = new MyHome(); | mh.setId( getInstance().getId() ); | mh.find(); // desired: mh now holds original pre-update() persisted state | getInstance().setFavoriteColor(mh.getFavoriteColor()); | return null; | } | return super.update(); | } | The problem is that the database lookup returns the new value not the original value I'm looking for. I've also tried using a query rather than find()--same result. This is puzzling to me! update() hasn't yet successfully completed, so why is the find() returning the new rather than the old value? Anybody know how I can get access to both the original and new field values inside update()? Thanks! Greg View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4039058#...
