Have a few questions on the constructor methods

Whats the significance of minimal constructor and full constructor methods?

When the object is instantiated which one will be called?

In minimal constructor method how the parameters are determined?

Thanks

What are refering to?

I guess you may be speaking about the need for hibernate to have a default constructor. At least one protected.

Then, Hibernate just uses this one and then calls the property setters (with the default access mode) one by one. I don't think it's even possible to use any parameterized constructor with H3.

Actually, you can use a non-default constructor. However, you either need to override the instantiate method in either an interceptor or your entity persister.

Thank you! I've been looking for this information all day. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of looking for it in the documentation. :)

Can anyone point me to the documentation for correctly implementing an interceptor and/or entity persister?
