Hi,

I'm having trouble getting the @PostLoad annotation to trigger in OGM and was hoping to clarify whether this feature is currently available in OGM or not. I debugged the code through to the OgmLoader.initializeEntitiesAndCollections which appears to be one of the key methods responsible for loading the raw data into Java objects. Its ORM counterpart (Loader.initializeEntitiesAndCollections) has some logic which appears to trigger the PostLoad events but this logic is missing from the OGM version. I was wondering whether this means that the feature is missing from OGM and if so whether its a case of it just not having been implemented yet or if there is a reason why it shouldn't be built?

Apologies if this is already documented somewhere; I've searched over the web, in this forum as well as on the Hibernate JIRA and haven't been able to find anything on the subject.

Thanks,
David.

Hi David,

@PostLoad is not yet supported in Hibernate OGM.

There is no general reason speaking against implementing it, it's just that we did not yet get to implementing it. Could you open a feature request in our JIRA at https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/OGM? Maybe you even would like trying to implement it yourself? If so just let me know and we'll get you started.

Some other events such as @PrePersist do work btw. as the code paths invoking them are shared between ORM and OGM.

Cheers,

Hi Gunnar,

Thanks for the response! I've created a ticket for the feature (https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/OGM-933) and would be happy to take a crack at it.

Thanks,
David.
