Hi all. Almost all of my objects have attributes called creationDate() and modificationDate(), these are populated in a listener attached to the DataDomain:
https://gist.github.com/hugith/a40faae5529a1826d601515a9e8c5206 Relatively simple and has served me well for the past few years. One thing has always irritated me though. This method of doing things means that if the only change to an object is to a to-many relationship, "modificationDate" will get updated (for example: User has a relationship user<-->>invoices, the user creates an invoice which is then added to his "invoices" relationship. modificationDate is then updated even if there was no logical change to the user itself). So, I'm wondering… Is there any good way in the listener to check what attributes have changed, so I can skip the update to modificationDate if the only changed properties are to-many relationships? I know I could implement a CommitLogListener and use the ChangeMap from there, but as you see I'm doing these updates before committing, making these changes a part of the same commit (which I'd much prefer to keep that way). Cheers, - hugi
