[Hibernate] Lifecycle and flushing

[Colin E. <ce...@mo...>]

Hi,
I need to have a LifeCycle callback for when an object is detected to be
dirty during a flush, basically at the same point that
Interceptor.onFlushDirty() is called.  I'm trying to track changes to
persistent objects and log changes to a database table, so I want to use the
Session object inside the transaction to do this, and LifeCycle currently
doesn't give notification of flushes.

Looking at the code, I would add LifeCycle callback in
SessionImpl.flushEntities().  Am I missing anywhere else that an update
could happen?  Also, is it worth while for me to submit this as a patch?
Changing the LifeCycle interface would break existing usages, but I could
extend it to LifeCycleFlush or something and add the callback in
SessionImpl.flushEntities() if it would be useful to other people.

Thanks
Colin
