[Performing equivalent to a triggerOnSave]

Hello,

Vital stats: Hibernate 2.1.2, MySQL 4.0.18

When I save an entity to the Db, I would like to run something equivalent to a INSERT TRIGGER, in order to create a related record in another table. I could do this serially.

Code:

session.save( a );
session.refresh ( a );

B relatedEntity = new B();
relatedEntity.setParent( a );
relatedEntity.setStatus( "foo" );
session.save( relatedEntity );

However, I want something like a post execution method to run once a has been saved.
How can I achieve this in Hibernate ?

Regards,

Alistair

LifeCycle interface will do the job.
