The use of PostUpdateEventListener in Hibernate 3

I am using Hibernate 3 as my persistence layer.

I want to track the successful update cases and do some tasks. I do this by using the PostUpdateEventListener. But I find it does not work. The PostUpdateEventListener will be called even in the failed update case (e.g. String too long). Are there any ways to check if it is a successful update case?

Thanks in advance.

you can use event.getOldState() and event.getState() to see what has happened.

Thanks for your help.

But getOldState() and event.getState() only give the old values and new values of the persistence object.
