Historically we made a terrible design mistake with the event system as a whole. This has both a confusing design impact and a very real performance impact. The main problem is the smashing together of things that handle events and things that listen to such events.
In working on a problem in v6 I have come to a point where fixing this design flaw for load events specifically would be a huge help. So I'm going to make a proposal for how to specifically change this for load event handling. The plan at the moment is to not make similar changes to the other event types for now, though I certainly would like to keep them all in mind with regard to the overall design for if/when we can get to the others. So I'd love feedback specifically regarding (1) general design considering other event types and (2) issues/concerns specific to load event type. I created a simple example at https://gist.github.com/sebersole/2a1c3ac010a166fc91e62b088179678d Thanks! _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
