Default Listeners not being processed correctly
-----------------------------------------------
Key: OPENJPA-103
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-103
Project: OpenJPA
Issue Type: Bug
Components: jpa
Reporter: Kevin Sutter
Assigned To: Kevin Sutter
The basic problem is this: I'm attempting to specify some entity listeners in
my orm.xml , but I continue to get the following TRACE message:
322664 my persistence unit TRACE [main] openjpa.MetaData - OpenJPA does not
currently support XML element "pre-persist". Ignoring.
The following discussion is from the openjpa-dev mailing list...
------------------------------------------------------------
Marc,
Thanks for the background on the earlier drafts of the JPA spec. That helps
explain some of the processing that I see. I also now see that elements tagged
as MetaDataTags have corresponding annotation support associated with them.
So, it looks like I just need to provide similar callback processing for the
pre-* and post-* methods at the "system" level as exist at the "class" levels.
Thanks for your insights.
Kevin

Kevin-
The draft of the JPA spec said that "pre-persist" was only supported
beneath the "entity-listeners" (note plural) element, rather than
"entity-listener". This appears to have been corrected in the final
version of the spec, but it looks like we never updated that part of
the code (and the CTS doesn't test for it). This is indeed a bug.
As for how the parser works, I'm afraid I don't know all that much
about it (aside from sharing your observation that it is complex).
Hopefully, though, my comment above will make the problem make a
little more sense to you...
