PrePersist implementation

[voidhawc]

Hi,

I'm trying to find out why the JBoss server throws an exception when running a @PrePersist method that modifies a primary key. According to the EJB3 spec it is supposed to happen before the persist is applied to the Entity.

There are JIRA issues on both JBoss and Hibernate.

So I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get the source code.

http://anonhibernate.labs.jboss.com/trunk/HibernateExt/ejb-api/src/javax/persistence/PrePersist.java
has the interface.

Any clues would be helpful.

Thanks

PrePersist is an annotation, (ie almost like an interface, do you need more?

Thanks for that, Emmanuel.

But I was looking for how, precisely, the JBoss/Hibernate engine processes the @PrePersist annonation.

So, the ejb3-persistence.jar from Hibernate that JBoss uses only has interfaces???? No actual implementation or processing inside its classes?

Thanks,

Grant

Look into the entitymanager source, there are special events that take care of it (in the event package afair)

Thank you.
