Hi,

Are Interceptors allowed to change the state of other objects in a graph that is being persisted? Here is what I'd like to do: Whenever a dirty object is persisted, I'd like to update its parent object (even if it wasn't dirty previously) and have these changes automatically persisted, as well. obviously, this assumes that Hibernate will persist child objects before parent objects, but I'm not sure if this is a safe assumption to make.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Jennifer

try tell interceptor that save parent only from child, for example

static value saveParent=false;

...

in isTransient

public Boolean isTransient(Object entity) {
if (entity instanceof YourParent and !saveParent) {
return Boolean.FALSE;
}
return null;
}

in onSave

.. saving child
saveParent=true;
try {
save(parent);
} finally {
saveParent=false;
}
...

i don't try all, but it is idea
regards
