How to set default entity listener use java code in spring-data-jpa ?

I want to set the entity listener dynamically, hibernate.session_factory.interceptor
I did not find this in the hibernate or spring-data-jpa documentation.

hibernate docs

You can customize the definition of LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean to point it to your custom persistence.xml . The quick and dirty way in Spring Boot would be to create a BeanPostProcessor :

@Component
public class PersistenceXmlPostProcessor implements BeanPostProcessor {

    @Override
    public Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(Object bean, String beanName)
      throws BeansException {
        if (bean instanceof LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean && runtimeConditionMet()) {
            ((LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean) bean).setPersistenceXmlLocation(<your custom persistence.xml location>)
        }
        return bean;
    }

}

As an alternative, you could customize the entity manager factory using BaseJpaAutoConfiguration :

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class)
public class MyApplication {
    ...
}

@Configuration
public class CustomHibernateJpaConfiguration extends JpaBaseConfiguration {

    ...// copy most methods over from HibernateJpaConfiguration

    @Override
    public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory(EntityManagerFactoryBuilder factoryBuilder) {
        var result = super.entityManagerFactory(factoryBuilder);
        result.setPersistenceXmlLocation(...);
        return result;
    }

}

(an even cleaner solution could be to extend EntityManagerFactoryBuilder , but I hope you get the general idea).
