Hello.

I'm trying to use Hibernate 4 for a new project, but I found that the documentation is incorrect on some aspects. One of that is how to programmatically add event listeners, the documentation says to call cfg.EventListeners().setLoadEventListeners(stack); but, as far as I can tell, there is no EventListener method on Configuration (nor getEventListener not anything that resembles such behaviour).

I readed that Hibernate 4 migrated some stuff as services and found some code, mainly in the issue tracker, but all code I tried do not work, I get null pointer exceptions from weird places and it doesn't tell anything about what's wrong or how to do things right.

So, can anyone post a sample code on how to programmatically initialize an Hibernate 4 environment, including postCreate/Modify/Delete event listeners ?

Thanks.

hi,

did you manage to add your listeners in the configuration xml ?

i tried the following configuration (works with hibernate 3.6.4):

<event type="pre-insert">
<listener class="my.test.PreInsertEventListener"/>
</event>

but my listeners were not called.

I don't use configuration files so I can't confirm if it works or not (and I have reverted my project to Hibernate 3.6.9 so I can't even give it a try).

opened a bug report
