Hello all,

Java Persistence with Hibernate page 549 and other online ressources
give an Interceptor "reference implementation" (AuditLogInterceptor)
that writes an audit log about entity changes to a different table.

This is done in a new Session opened via Session.connection() since
an Interceptor callback method is not allowed to write to the same session.

However, with (at least) Hibernate 3.2.4.sp1 the Session.connection()
call is deprecated.

The deprecation comment "to be replaced with a SPI for performing
work against the connection; scheduled for removal in 4.x" doesn't
tell me too much, really...

What would be the recommended way now ?

(Christian, shouldn't this also be mentioned in the book errata ? )

Thanks & Cheers, Tom.

bump - is this not a valid question ?

I think it is a valid question :) I bumped into the same thing and then found your posting. Apparently this way of doing things is to be replaced with something else. The funny thing is, the current online API docs don't really say anything about it:

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/api/org/hibernate/Session.html#connection()

All is explained over here though:
