Hibernate @PrePersist

[stunaz]

Hello,
I want to tinitialize my objetc using the @PrePersist annotations.
Lets say i have an Entiy user:

@Entity
@Table(name = "USERS")
Public Class User {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
@Column(name = "ID", unique = true, nullable = false)
private Integer id;

@Column(name="DATE_UPDATED",nullable = false)
@Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
@NotNull
private Date dateCreated;

@PrePersist
public void beforeCreate(){
if (this.dateCreated == null) {
this.dateCreated = new Date();
}
}

//getter and setter
}

Somehow, the method beforeCreate is never called when i do :
session.saveOrUpdate(user)
but only when i do session.persist(user)

Can somebody tell me why and how to fix that?
Thanks

@Table(name = "USERS")
Public Class User {

That line won't compile. It's 'public class', not 'Public Class'.

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
@Column(name = "ID", unique = true, nullable = false)
private Integer id;

@Column(name="DATE_UPDATED",nullable = false)
@Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
@NotNull
private Date dateCreated;

@PrePersist
public void beforeCreate(){
if (this.dateCreated == null) {
this.dateCreated = new Date();
}
}

Perhaps you should use EntityManager instead of Session.

You should use spaces (maximum four per indent level) rather than TABs in
Usenet posts.
