Hibernate version: 3.0 beta4

I've noticed that the EventListeners do not fire in case an object is getting loaded from Criteria query. If I load the same object from Session.load() or Session.get() the listeners do fire.

In our instance we are trying to intercept using custom DefaultLoadListener to meet our needs. Is this a design decision or something that sould be working ?

LoadEvent occurs when an object is *fetched*, not for a query.

You should look at PreLoadEvent / PostLoadEvent, which fire when objects are initialized from a ResultSet.

But if I am not mistaken, if the object is not even found, non of these events will fire ( I haven't tried it yet will try shortly ).

Ok, tested with PreLoad and PostLoad event listeners, and none fire in case of criteria query. Basically I need a consistent mechanism to intercept when a object is not found within hibernate framework ( to fit in with the legacy data model, don't ask why.. ;) ).

The custom load event listener ( extending from DefaultLoadEventListener ), seems to work for HQL query as well as Session.load() and Session.get() API. The only one I'm having trouble with is the criteria query.

Looking through the source, it doesn't seem like any EventListeners are fired during the criteria query. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

There is no notion of "object not found" in a query. Sorry.
