...have no idea why - seems i have the signature right... ...onSave() is called just fine. but when i successfully delete an object like:

Session session = HibernateUtil.currentSession();
Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
int deleted = session.createQuery("Delete net.sf.ussrp.bus.Report where id = "+ id) .executeUpdate();
tx.commit();
HibernateUtil.closeSession();

...onDelete() is not called in my interceptor, like:

public class UssrpInterceptor extends EmptyInterceptor {
...
public void onDelete(Object entity, Serializable id, Object[] state, String[] propertyNames, Type[] types) throws CallbackException {}
...
}

gotta call "session.delete(report)" for the onDelete() interceptor call back to be called.

...means can't delete in batch if you need the call back? e.g. no:

int deleted = session.createQuery("Delete net.sf.ussrp.bus.Report").executeUpdate();

??

thanks,

tom
