getting the active JPA UnitOfWork [message #387945] Tue, 19 May 2009 19:09 Go to next message

I wrote an SessionEventListener with a preCommitTransaction(SessionEvent
evt) method and am trying to figure out how to get from the session in the
event to the UnitOfWork representing the JPA EntityManager. Is this
possible?
I am trying to get to the changesets for the JPA entities...

I looked at JPAHelper but did not see any methods that seem to provide a
path from session to EntityManager. I am thinking I need the EntityManager
so I can do this:
JPAHelper.getEntityManager(em).getUnitOfWork().getCurrentCha nges(), but
perhaps there is another path?

Thanks,

Frank

You should be able to just get the UnitOfWork from the SessionEvent (the
Session is a UnitOfWork).

UnitOfWork uow = (UnitOfWork) event.getSession();

Unfortunatley that causes a ClassCastException, apparently getSession()
returns a ClientSession and it cannot be casted to UnitOfWork. I also
tried getActiveUnitOfWork() but that returns null, and I assume
acquireUnitOfWork() creates a new one....

Problem solved. I should have overridden the postCommitUnitOfWork method,
not the preCommitTransaction method. In that method the cast is
successful, which makes sense. Now I have access to the changes to all the
JAP entities. Now all I have to figure out is how to interpret that
UnitOfWorkChangeSet structure..... ;-)
