Interface Interceptor

All Known Implementing Classes:

EmptyInterceptor

public interface Interceptor

Allows user code to inspect and/or change property values.

Inspection occurs before property values are written and after they are read from the database.

There might be a single instance of Interceptor for a SessionFactory, or a new instance might be specified for each Session. Whichever approach is used, the interceptor must be serializable if the Session is to be serializable. This means that SessionFactory-scoped interceptors should implement readResolve().

The Session may not be invoked from a callback (nor may a callback cause a collection or proxy to be lazily initialized).

Instead of implementing this interface directly, it is usually better to extend EmptyInterceptor and override only the callback methods of interest.

Method Detail

onLoad

boolean onLoad(java.lang.Object entity,
             java.io.Serializable id,
             java.lang.Object[] state,
             java.lang.String[] propertyNames,
             Type[] types)
               throws CallbackException

Called just before an object is initialized. The interceptor may change the state, which will be propagated to the persistent object. Note that when this method is called, entity will be an empty uninitialized instance of the class.

Returns:

true if the user modified the state in any way.

Throws:

CallbackException

onFlushDirty

boolean onFlushDirty(java.lang.Object entity,
                   java.io.Serializable id,
                   java.lang.Object[] currentState,
                   java.lang.Object[] previousState,
                   java.lang.String[] propertyNames,
                   Type[] types)
                     throws CallbackException

Called when an object is detected to be dirty, during a flush. The interceptor may modify the detected currentState, which will be propagated to both the database and the persistent object. Note that not all flushes end in actual synchronization with the database, in which case the new currentState will be propagated to the object, but not necessarily (immediately) to the database. It is strongly recommended that the interceptor not modify the previousState.

Returns:

true if the user modified the currentState in any way.

Throws:

CallbackException

onSave

boolean onSave(java.lang.Object entity,
             java.io.Serializable id,
             java.lang.Object[] state,
             java.lang.String[] propertyNames,
             Type[] types)
               throws CallbackException

Called before an object is saved. The interceptor may modify the state, which will be used for the SQL INSERT and propagated to the persistent object.

Returns:

true if the user modified the state in any way.

Throws:

CallbackException

onDelete

void onDelete(java.lang.Object entity,
            java.io.Serializable id,
            java.lang.Object[] state,
            java.lang.String[] propertyNames,
            Type[] types)
              throws CallbackException

Called before an object is deleted. It is not recommended that the interceptor modify the state.

Throws:

CallbackException

onCollectionRecreate

void onCollectionRecreate(java.lang.Object collection,
                        java.io.Serializable key)
                          throws CallbackException

Called before a collection is (re)created.

Throws:

CallbackException

onCollectionRemove

void onCollectionRemove(java.lang.Object collection,
                      java.io.Serializable key)
                        throws CallbackException

Called before a collection is deleted.

Throws:

CallbackException

onCollectionUpdate

void onCollectionUpdate(java.lang.Object collection,
                      java.io.Serializable key)
                        throws CallbackException

Called before a collection is updated.

Throws:

CallbackException

preFlush

void preFlush(java.util.Iterator entities)
              throws CallbackException

Called before a flush

Throws:

CallbackException

postFlush

void postFlush(java.util.Iterator entities)
               throws CallbackException

Called after a flush that actually ends in execution of the SQL statements required to synchronize in-memory state with the database.

Throws:

CallbackException

isTransient

java.lang.Boolean isTransient(java.lang.Object entity)

Called to distinguish between transient and detached entities. The return value determines the state of the entity with respect to the current session.

• Boolean.TRUE - the entity is transient
• Boolean.FALSE - the entity is detached
• null - Hibernate uses the unsaved-value mapping and other heuristics to determine if the object is unsaved

Parameters:

entity - a transient or detached entity

Returns:

Boolean or null to choose default behaviour

findDirty

int[] findDirty(java.lang.Object entity,
              java.io.Serializable id,
              java.lang.Object[] currentState,
              java.lang.Object[] previousState,
              java.lang.String[] propertyNames,
              Type[] types)

Called from flush(). The return value determines whether the entity is updated

• an array of property indices - the entity is dirty
• an empty array - the entity is not dirty
• null - use Hibernate's default dirty-checking algorithm

Parameters:

entity - a persistent entity

Returns:

array of dirty property indices or null to choose default behaviour

instantiate

java.lang.Object instantiate(java.lang.String entityName,
                           EntityMode entityMode,
                           java.io.Serializable id)
                             throws CallbackException

Instantiate the entity class. Return null to indicate that Hibernate should use the default constructor of the class. The identifier property of the returned instance should be initialized with the given identifier.

Parameters:

entityName - the name of the entity

entityMode - The type of entity instance to be returned.

id - the identifier of the new instance

Returns:

an instance of the class, or null to choose default behaviour

Throws:

CallbackException

getEntityName

java.lang.String getEntityName(java.lang.Object object)
                               throws CallbackException

Parameters:

object - an entity instance

Returns:

the name of the entity

Throws:

CallbackException

getEntity

java.lang.Object getEntity(java.lang.String entityName,
                         java.io.Serializable id)
                           throws CallbackException

Get a fully loaded entity instance that is cached externally

Parameters:

entityName - the name of the entity

id - the instance identifier

Returns:

a fully initialized entity
