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

default 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

default 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

default 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

default void onLoad(Session s,
                    Object 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

onLoad

@Deprecated(since="6.0")
default void onLoad(Session s,
                    Serializable id)

Deprecated.

use onLoad(Session, Object)

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
