Package org.springframework.data.neo4j.core.mapping.callback Description

This package contains the callback API. There are both imperative and reactive callbacks available that get invoked just before an entity is bound to a statement. These can be implemented by client code. For further convenience, both imperative and reactive auditing callbacks are available. The config package contains a registrar and an annotation to enable those without having to provide the beans manually. The event system comes in two flavours: Events that are based on Spring's application event system and callbacks that are based on Spring Data's callback system. Application events can be configured to run asynchronously, which make them a bad fit in transactional workloads. As a rule of thumb, use Entity callbacks for modifying entities before persisting and application events otherwise. The best option however to react in a transactional way to changes of an entity is to implement DomainEvents on an aggregate root.
