Hi !

when persisting (updating) an entity you would call EntityManager.persist(entity) passing the complete entity. It is possible to intercept with @PreUpdate.

Does anyone have a recipe how to identify which properties have changed in this interceptor method ? Somehow comparing the old and the new entity ? Even better to implement a generic method instead of comparing field by field for each class.

Thanks for any insights

I love to work with code templates, aka macros. In NB they (user-created) are stored in a xml file under the user document folder.
"..\Documents and Settings\userxyz\.netbeans\x.y\config\Editors\text\x-java\CodeTemplates\org.."

but the templates that come with NB are in a jar file(?). not sure about that.
I was looking for it because the editor for the templates has a odd way of sorting them.

Question: Does anyone knows about a list of all variables like ${cursor} and so on ? I want to create templates using the actual date or user or similar.

Thanks
Sven

when you create multiple resource files for the various language you want to use, you can change the language during start with VM parameter "-Dcountry - Dlanguage". think it also reads the equivalent settings from the OS.
but you need to compile it into one file.

Hi all,
I was evaluating the internationalization features in NB. It works a bit like resource files that are linked fix into the jar file.
For this approach is there are way to change language during runtime ?
or better..
is there a small framework to read the text (labels,..) from an outside source (DB,XML file,.) ? That also makes easier for 3rd parties to translate the GUI without touching code. Of course can implement by myself, but why reinvent again ?
Thanks
Sven
