This is probably an easy question for anybody having more experience than me, but I'm quite stuck on it.

I have some code that should only do reads to my Hibernate POJO. Still Hibernate issues UPDATE statements. So I guess I have some error in my code and it changes the POJO at some point.

Is there an easy way to see when the "write" occurs ? Something quick and dirty, like setting a breakpoint in some hibernate class ...

Thanks for your help !

Hibernate version:
3.1.3

Name and version of the database you are using:
Oracle 10g

First, set <property name="show_sql">true</property> in your hibernate.cfg.xml file.

But as far as determining in your code where that happens, you could write an Interceptor and then dump the stack..... But I have no experience with Interceptors.....

Thank you for your answer !

I already have show_sql=true. That's how I realized that Hibernate issues more UPDATE statement than what I was expecting.

I'll try to go for the interceptors ... but I'm not entirely convinced yet ... Isnt there an easy way out ?
