Hello

I wat to use SelfServicing and use some logging feature that will log database calls for important classes.

Is this possible with SelfServicing, without changing every OnSave/OnDelete in the BaseEntities?

Thanks

You have to override the Save and Delete methods in the derived classes for this.

is this still true?

basically i want to log the session-user and the action he does.

i really don't want to override/write delete() and save() for every entity i have

You can override that in 1 include template. Write the routines, place these routines in the file entityAuditingInclude.template in the SharedTemplates\C# folder (or if you're using VB.NET, in the VB.NET folder) and make a copy of the templateset config file you're using (CSharpTemplateSet.config for example)

Open the copy in an editor (it's xml) and change the name tag contents so you'll recognize it in the generator configuration.

Then ADD a new template binding: (Example here is for C#) <templateBinding templateID="Custom_EntityUsingEntityBaseTemplate" templateFilename="......\SharedTemplates\C#\entityAuditingInclude.template" />

save it and re-generate your code using THAT templateset config (the 2nd drop down box in the dialog you get when you press F7)

Now, every derived entity class in the two-class scenario for selfservicing will have your code added to entityAuditingInclude.template. So in entityAuditingInclude.template you implement overrides to InsertEntity(), UpdateEntity() and DeleteEntity(), so you can audit. Be sure to call the base class' version afterwards of course

thanx

i'm getting on the way.

it it true when i do a entitycollection.savemulti() my overrides will be called also?

SaveMulti calls Save() on the entities it has to save, and that method will then call the proper InsertEntity or UpdateEntity() so yes, these will be called.
