I would like to implement a progress monitor that is updated every time a Hibernate persistible class is saved. For this I need:

a) a count of the number of classes that need to be saved before saving commences
b) notification after a class is saved

I looked the Hibernate interceptor, so I think I can manage part b), but I'm not sure how to do part a). Is there a way of doing this in Hibernate?

Thanks,

Doug.

Just out of interest, why do you want to do this ?

Sounds like your save might be taking a long time and you want to monitor how long it takes.

What's going on that takes so long that you need a progress monitor (I'd focus my efforts on speeding up the save, rather than writing a progress monitor) ?

It's not that the save takes particularly long via Hibernate, it's just that I'd like a progress monitor in order to let the user know roughly how long it will take.

Also, if some independent processes are running against the database at the same time as the save is being attempted, and the processes are using a lot of CPU, it can still take a long time to save - even with the most optimal Hibernate code in place.

Admittedly, a progress monitor would be a nice feature, not a necessity...
