JPA Annotation

PrePersist

Target: METHOD
Implemented Interfaces:
Annotation

Specifies a callback method for the corresponding lifecycle event. This annotation may be applied to methods of an entity class, a mapped superclass, or a callback listener class.

A generated primary key value is available when this callback occurs only for UUID, TABLE, or SEQUENCE primary key generation. For IDENTITY primary key generation, the generated primary key is not available when this callback occurs.

Since:
JPA 1.0
The JPA Lifecycle Events article explains how to use PrePersist.
This annotation is a marker annotation (with no attributes).
