[hibernate-dev] JPA Events

[Petar Tahchiev]

Hi guys,

I opened an issue in the JPA spec here yesterday:

https://github.com/javaee/jpa-spec/issues/167

because @PreUpdate and @PrePersist events are not fired when I save a
collection on the owner. Since then, a discussion with Oliver Gierke from
the SpringDATA team started and I wanted to know your opinion on this.

Basically the question is: if you have Product with a Collection<String>
attribute and you update the collection, shall @PreUpdate event be fired.

As Oliver mentioned the JPA spec says:
-------
The PreUpdate and PostUpdate callbacks occur before and after the database
update operations to entity data respectively.
-------

so to me it is obvious that when an attribute of the Product is changed
then this means that @PreUpdate event for the Product must be fired.

What do you think? Should I open a bug in Hibernate?
