Hi all,
I 've specified method with annotation @PreUpdate (as well as @PostPersist, @PostUpdate, @PrePersist), but it is not called. Also I try to do the same with EntityListener class - no effect.
@PostLoad is called.
Method is defined as public void method();
And listener class has empty constructor.
Any ideas what should be configured else?

Thank you.
Igor.

Are you using EM to do update (persist) or plain Session?

I'm using EntityManager.merge(). I should update detached object, so Icannot use persist

Any debuging possible?
Since it is all about usage of specific event listeners.

Ok, I find the problem. The @preUpdate wasn't called since the pojo wasn't changed. Actually I wanted to update it in @PreUpdate.
It seems that I need make update in other place.

Thank you.

You can still update the entity in preUpdate .. but not using the entity object attached in the event .. you may want to read http://anshuiitk.blogspot.com/2010/11/h ... event.html for more clarification.
