Hiberante Listener：EventType.POST_INSERT 和 EventType.POST_COMMIT_INSERT 的区别

Question

Request

I need to excute a piece of code after every insert in some tables.

I don't want to edit every part of the application looking for all places where the insertion is executed, I would like to use the Hibernate Listener.

Question

I don't understand the difference between the EventType s POST_INSERT and POST_COMMIT_INSERT . Both refer to the listener PostInsertEventListener , but I would like to know which of these I should use, and what are the differences. Both seems will be excecuted after the record is written in the database, maybe one of these is executed only on some special case?

Other details

I can't (and I don't want to) use a SQL trigger on the tables.

You would be better off using a org.hibernate.Interceptor or a JPA @PostPersist listener. The event listener infrastructure is designed for much more sophisticated usecases than yours.
