public Interface Interceptor

Known Direct Implementers
org.hibernate.EmptyInterceptor
Imports
java.io.Serializable, java.util.Iterator, org.hibernate.type.Type

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.

Called before a transaction is committed (but not before rollback).

Parameters
tx:Transaction

The Hibernate transaction facade object

findDirtyback to summary
public int[] findDirty(Object entity, Serializable id, Object[] currentState, Object[] previousState, 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:Object

The entity for which to find dirty properties.

id:Serializable

The identifier of the entity

currentState:Object[]

The current entity state as taken from the entity instance

previousState:Object[]

The state of the entity when it was last synchronized (generally when it was loaded)

propertyNames:String[]

The names of the entity properties.

types:Type[]

getEntityNameback to summary
public String getEntityName(Object object) throws CallbackException

Get the entity name for a persistent or transient instance.

Parameters
object:Object

an entity instance

Returns:String

the name of the entity

Exceptions
CallbackException:
Thrown if the interceptor encounters any problems handling the callback.
instantiateback to summary
public Object instantiate(String entityName, EntityMode entityMode, 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:String

the name of the entity

entityMode:EntityMode

The type of entity instance to be returned.

id:Serializable

the identifier of the new instance

Returns:Object

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

Exceptions
CallbackException:
Thrown if the interceptor encounters any problems handling the callback.
isTransientback to summary
public Boolean isTransient(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:Object

a transient or detached entity

Returns:Boolean

Boolean or null to choose default behaviour

onCollectionRecreateback to summary
public void onCollectionRecreate(Object collection, Serializable key) throws CallbackException

Parameters
collection:Object

The collection instance.

key:Serializable

The collection key value.

Exceptions
CallbackException:
Thrown if the interceptor encounters any problems handling the callback.
onCollectionRemoveback to summary

Parameters
collection:Object

The collection instance.

key:Serializable

The collection key value.

Exceptions
CallbackException:
Thrown if the interceptor encounters any problems handling the callback.
onCollectionUpdateback to summary
public void onCollectionUpdate(Object collection, Serializable key) throws CallbackException

Called before a collection is updated.

Parameters
collection:Object

The collection instance.

key:Serializable

The collection key value.

Exceptions
CallbackException:
Thrown if the interceptor encounters any problems handling the callback.
onDeleteback to summary
public void onDelete(Object entity, Serializable id, Object[] state, String[] propertyNames, Type[] types) throws CallbackException

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

Parameters
entity:Object

The entity instance being deleted

id:Serializable

The identifier of the entity

state:Object[]

The state of the entity

propertyNames:String[]

The names of the entity properties.

types:Type[]

Exceptions
CallbackException:
Thrown if the interceptor encounters any problems handling the callback.
onFlushDirtyback to summary
public boolean onFlushDirty(Object entity, Serializable id, Object[] currentState, Object[] previousState, 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.

Note

The indexes across the currentState, previousState, propertyNames and types arrays match.

Parameters
entity:Object

The entity instance detected as being dirty and being flushed

id:Serializable

The identifier of the entity

currentState:Object[]

The entity's current state

previousState:Object[]

The entity's previous (load time) state.

propertyNames:String[]

The names of the entity properties

types:Type[]

The types of the entity properties

Returns:boolean

true if the user modified the currentState in any way.

Exceptions
CallbackException:
Thrown if the interceptor encounters any problems handling the callback.
onLoadback to summary
public boolean onLoad(Object entity, Serializable id, Object[] state, 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.

Note

The indexes across the state, propertyNames and types arrays match.

Parameters
entity:Object

The entity instance being loaded

id:Serializable

The identifier value being loaded

state:Object[]

The entity state (which will be pushed into the entity instance)

Returns:String

original or modified sql

Annotations
@Deprecated
onSaveback to summary
