Hi Illhan,
The audit example from the persistence blog uses a @PostUpdate listener to
do the auditing. You can specify a default set of listeners for an entire
persistence unit in an xml mapping file. For example :
persistence.xml :
<persistence-unit name="auditable-pu">
<mapping-file>orm.xml</mapping-file>
</persistence-unit>
orm/xml :
<persistence-unit-metadata>
<persistence-unit-defaults>
<entity-listeners>
<entity-listener class="foo.bar.Auditor">
<pre-persist method-name="prePersist" />
<post-persist method-name="postPersist" />
<pre-remove method-name="preRemove" />
<post-remove method-name="postRemove" />
<pre-update method-name="preUpdate" />
<post-update method-name="postUpdate" />
<post-load method-name="postLoad" />
</entity-listener>
</entity-listeners>
</persistence-unit-defaults>
</persistence-unit-metadata>
Foo.bar.Auditor.postUpdate() will operate on all the entities in your
persistence unit - just like the annotation example in Pinaki's blog post.
Does that sound like what you want?
