Hi,

first of all - sorry for my 'broken' english :-).


Now,

I have some table in my db, and there is date column called inserting_date. When new record will be added then current date should also be added to this coulm.

So I don't want do this in the Java way (insertingDate = new Date(); and then insert) but I like want to hibernate do it same (like autoincrementing in id coulm).

Is this possible?


Thanks,
pss.

You can use the Interceptor concept from Hibernate to inspect and modify properties of entities at certain points in their lifecycle (eg. read, update...).

More information is available at:
