I wrote an interceptor to intercept some queries for an application running Hibernate 2. Unfortunately, the application uses prepared statements in certain classes. However, Hibernate 2's interceptor doesn't provide the onPrepareStatement that Hibernate 3's interceptor does.

Is there a way for me to be able to intercept these prepared statements as well? Rewriting the application to not make use of prepared statements or altering the code in any other way is not possible, as well as migrating to Hibernate 3...

Just as I was going home from work yesterday a solution came to my mind. Although I doubt any of you stumbled onto the same problem I'd still like to share the solution.

Since there is a single point of execution of prepared statements in the application, code alteration on that point is reduced to a minimum. So I let my interceptor implement an interface containing an onPrepareStatement method and just before I execute my prepared statement I call this method of the interceptor.

Probably doesn't work for everybody, but certainly does for me :)
