Question. I have a subclassed entity. The class structure is like so

BaseEntity -> Trade -> Forward

The Trade class has a

postSave()

method defined. When I save a 'Forward' entity the

postSave( )

interception point is firing twice. When saving a subclass entity, Quick will call

.save()

on the Parent as well, causing the double firing. Is this expected behavior? Personally I expected postSave() to fire once on the parent class.

I don't think I've ever seen that behavior

Though I'm not sure I have any cases of subclasses with different lifecycle entities than their parent

Hmm yeah this is a bit of a problem. Im trying to mull over how to fix this. I can implement the interception methods in all the subclass which would override the parent class but this would be a pain, I am also thinking about preventing parent entities from firing events altogether and then leaving it up to the user to call

super.preSave

or something like that

Update. I came up with a simple solution. In my

postSave( )

method I simply check the entity name that the method was called on. Quick will save the entity name in the evenData argument for the interception point.

Copy code

// Parent Entity Trade.cfc
function postSave(event, eventData, buffer, rc, prc){
	if(arguments.eventData.entityName eq 'Trade'){
		//do stuff here	
	}
}
