Hi all,

I want to create an event listener (i.e. a PreInsertEventListener), being able to inspect the state before insertion. As the state[] only contains the values of the properties, I don't know what's the SECURE way to access to the properties (i.e. how to know whether property "a" is at position 2 in the array of values...???) (I don't think accessing in class field order is a SECURE way, because the VM doesn't impose any specific order, as specified in the Class documentation...).


PreInsertEvent
{
Object getEntity()

Serializable getId()

EntityPersister getPersister()

Object[] getState()
}

Thanks a lot in advance,

Kind Regards,

Carlos

get it from the persister

Gavin,

I was looking at the persister before, but the "used for XML generation only" discouraged me using this method

String[] getPropertyNames()
Get the names of the class properties - doesn't have to be the names of the actual Java properties (used for XML generation only)

Is this the correct one??

Kind regards,

Carlos
