How to configure eventlisteners in appCtx config?

[rebornspirit]

Hi, I'm trying to define eventlisterens on my session factory, but it seems I'm doing it wrong

some help...

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
<property name="eventListeners">
<map>
<entry key="load">
<list>
<bean class="org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultPreLoadEventListener"/>
</list>
</entry>
</map>
</property>
<property name="mappingResources">
<list>

Nor the following seems to work...

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
<property name="eventListeners">
<map>
<entry key="load">
<bean class="org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultPreLoadEventListener"/>
</entry>
</map>
</property>
<property name="mappingResources">
<list>

Some help?

I think you need to change your key to "pre-load" to use that listener. What errors are you getting?

[jmelzer]

<bean id="myEventListener" class="...MyMergeEventListener"/>

<property name="eventListeners">
<map>
<entry key="merge" value-ref="myEventListener"/>
</map>
</property>

You should use a map and either the inner bean definition or the ref one should work. Make sure you are using the approapriate key name since otherwise Hibernate will not call your listener. You can find the listener keys in the hibernate reference documentation or inside the Hibernate dtd.
