Hello.
I just tried callbacks for the first time. I wanted to update a
modified field every time a data object was changed. In the modeler I
added a method called "onPreUpdate" of type pre-update for the entity.
Then I added the following method in the data object.
protected void onPreUpdate() {
setModified(new Date());
}
It seem to work very well. Is this the correct way to do it?
In my simple case it would have been even nicer if the _MyEntity.java
included something like "protected abstract void onPreUpdate();"
generated from the model. Default MyEntity.java should include an emty
stub for that method.
Would that be a reasonable feature request? I am asking before
registering as I am such a callback newbie.
In modeler, the difference between callbacks and listeners are a bit
confusing. Anyone having some ideas to how this interface could be
clearer/simpler?
