I want to override the onLoad() method in the org.hibernate.Interceptor interface, and use it for custom security checks of my own. This is working fine for normal objects in my application (which have @Entity annotation on them), but it is not working for any objects which are embedded (having @Embedded annotation ). It seems onLoad method is not called separately for Embedded objects.

Is there any workaround for this?
If not, is it possible to call a method of the containing class (object which contains the embedded object, i.e. the parent object) from within the embedded object. That will also solve my problem.

Thanks

Embedded objects are loaded (hydrated) together with their parent object,
therefore it does not exist separate a load-event for them.



I fear not. What you can do is,
override the onLoad() method on the parent entity class and there do the security check for all it's embedded objects

Thanks, I got the solution. I was able to fetch the embedded objects using the Types array and state array which are passed in as parameters to the onLoad method.
