Callback after update or save?

I'd like to implement some logic each time a save is done to a particular persistent object. This seems like a perfect opportunity to use the callbacks, but it looks like the ones for update and save only work before the update or save, not after. Is there another Hibernate oriented option?

I can't answer your question, but I am curious as to why you would need to do this. In the 6 months or so of using HIbernate on many projects, i've never needed to use them. Perhaps if you say what code you're going to put in there, we can suggest another way?

Good luck

Do you need to perform the action immediately after save()? Would preFlush(), postFlush(), or onFlushDirty() do the trick?

Also, the roadmap for 2.2 (http://www.hibernate.org/44.html#A10) seems to imply that you'll get your wish. (full event API)

How is the development of this coming along?

No date will ever be published on a future version of Hibernate. Only when it's time to.
The 2.1 family has been released not so long ago...
