Hibernate 3 integration

[benholland]

The problem is my DAO support is coupled to my domain objects. When hibernate loads the entity it does not insert the supporting datamapper and validator. The datamapper/DAO is used when I call entity.insert().

Not sure I explained that well :shock:

In truth, I am not all that familiar with the Hibernate class that you are using.

Still, if you are sure it is working correctly and double checked everything, then "if it works, it works"

But I am still not clear why you are

 DomainObject entity = (DomainObject) event.getSession().getPersistenceContext().getEntity(
new EntityKey(
event.getId(),
event.getPersister(),
EntityMode.POJO)
);

instead of

  DomainObject entity = (DomainObject) event.getEntity();

Maybe I am missing something

Yes, that documentation is very comprehensive and useful but doesnt really answer my question.

Essentially what I want to do is call the context to do the injection when hibernate loads the class. Is the only way to do this using hibernate interceptors??

I came up with this AOP-based alternative approach which I think is more performant and not dependent on any hibernate features:

Thanks for the suggestion and it got me thinking. Unfortunately I cant use AOP on this project but shall use the info for a work around. Shall post anything I come up with.

Thanks,

Ben
