Interface Lifecycle

  • public interface Lifecycle
    Provides callbacks from the Session to the persistent object. Persistent classes may implement this interface but they are not required to.

    onSave: called just before the object is saved
    onUpdate: called just before an object is updated, ie. when Session.update() is called
    onDelete: called just before an object is deleted
    onLoad: called just after an object is loaded

    onLoad() may be used to initialize transient properties of the object from its persistent state. It may not be used to load dependent objects since the Session interface may not be invoked from inside this method.

    A further intended usage of onLoad(), onSave() and onUpdate() is to store a reference to the Session for later use.

    If onSave(), onUpdate() or onDelete() return VETO, the operation is silently vetoed. If a CallbackException is thrown, the operation is vetoed and the exception is passed back to the application.

    Note that onSave() is called after an identifier is assigned to the object, except when identity column key generation is used.

    • Method Detail

      • onSave

        boolean onSave​(Session s)
        throws CallbackException
        Called when an entity is saved.
        Parameters:
        s - the session
        Returns:
        true to veto save
        Throws:
        CallbackException - Indicates a problem happened during callback

      • onUpdate

        boolean onUpdate​(Session s)
          throws CallbackException
        Called when an entity is passed to Session.update(). This method is not called every time the object's state is persisted during a flush.
        Parameters:
        s - the session
        Returns:
        true to veto update
        Throws:
        CallbackException - Indicates a problem happened during callback

      • onDelete

        boolean onDelete​(Session s)
          throws CallbackException
        Called when an entity is deleted.
        Parameters:
        s - the session
        Returns:
        true to veto delete
        Throws:
        CallbackException - Indicates a problem happened during callback

      • onLoad

        void onLoad​(Session s,
            java.io.Serializable id)
        Called after an entity is loaded. It is illegal to access the Session from inside this method. However, the object may keep a reference to the session for later use.
        Parameters:
        s - the session
        id - the identifier
