Class DescriptorEventManager

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable
    public class DescriptorEventManager
extends CoreDescriptorEventManager<DescriptorEvent>
implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

    Purpose: The event manager allows for a descriptor to specify that an object should be notified when a EclipseLink event occurs. It also determines how the object will be notified. To specify an event a method name can be registered to be called on the object when the event occurs. Events can be used to extend the EclipseLink reading and writing behavior.

    These events include:

    • pre/postWrite - occurs when an object is written (occurs even if no changes to the object).
    • pre/postInsert - occurs when an object is inserted.
    • pre/postUpdate - occurs when an object is updated (occurs even if no changes to the object).
    • pre/postDeleted - occurs when an object is deleted.
    • postBuild/postRefresh - occurs after a object has been built/refreshed from its database row.
    • aboutTo/Insert/Update - occurs when an object is about to be inserted/update allows for row modification.
    • postClone - occurs when an object is registered/cloned in a unit of work.
    • postMerge - occurs when an object is merged with its original in a unit of work.
