Hallo,
is there any possibility to catch the DELETE-Event of hibernate?

My problem is the follwing:
i have some reference counters in the objects, which are counting the refernces pointing to this object. If I now delete an object, i have to decrease some of these counters.
If i could catch the Delete-Event i could decrease the counters automatically.

Tanks for help!
Regards,
Martin

Something like this?

protected void postProcessConfiguration(Configuration config) throws HibernateException {
config.setListener("delete", new BasicDeleteEventListener());
}
