The Interceptor interface provides callbacks from the session to the application, it allowing the application to inspect and/or manipulate properties of a persistent object before it is saved, updated, deleted or loaded. One possible use for this is to track auditing information.
Example:
In the following Interceptor automatically sets the createTimestamp when an Auditable is created and updates the lastUpdateTimestamp property when an Auditable is updated. Either implement Interceptor directly or extend EmptyInterceptor.
package r4r;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Iterator;
import org.hibernate.EmptyInterceptor;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.hibernate.type.Type;
public class HibernateInterceptor extends EmptyInterceptor {
private int updates;
private int creates;
private int loads;
public void onDelete(Object entity,
Serializable id,
Object[] state,
String[] propertyNames,
Type[] types) {
}
public boolean onFlushDirty(Object entity,
Serializable id,
Object[] currentState,
Object[] previousState,
String[] propertyNames,
Type[] types) {
if ( entity instanceof Auditable ) {
updates++;
for ( int i=0; i < propertyNames.length; i++ ) {
if ( "lastUpdateTimestamp".equals( propertyNames[i] ) ) {
currentState[i] = new Date();
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
public boolean onLoad(Object entity,
Serializable id,
Object[] state,
String[] propertyNames,
Type[] types) {
if ( entity instanceof Auditable ) {
loads++;
}
return false;
}
public boolean onSave(Object entity,
Serializable id,
Object[] state,
String[] propertyNames,
Type[] types) {
if ( entity instanceof Auditable ) {
creates++;
for ( int i=0; i<propertyNames.length; i++ ) {
if ( "createTimestamp".equals( propertyNames[i] ) ) {
state[i] = new Date();
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
public void afterTransactionCompletion(Transaction tx) {
if ( tx.wasCommitted() ) {
System.out.println("Creations: " + creates + ", Updates: " + updates, "Loads: " + loads);
}
updates=0;
creates=0;
loads=0;
}
}
- Session-scoped
- SessionFactory-scoped.
A Session-scoped interceptor is specified when a session is opened using one of the overloadedSessionFactory.openSession() methods accepting an Interceptor.
Session session = sf.openSession( new AuditInterceptor() );
A SessionFactory-scoped interceptor is registered with the Configuration object prior to building the SessionFactory. Unless a session is opened explicitly specifying the interceptor to use, the supplied interceptor will be applied to all sessions opened from that SessionFactory. SessionFactory-scoped interceptors must be thread safe. Ensure that you do not store session-specific states, since multiple sessions will use this interceptor potentially concurrently.
new Configuration().setInterceptor( new AuditInterceptor() );
