EECAs

Entity Event Condition Actions (EECAs) are actions that are triggered by events on the database level. You can be quite specific as to what the event actually is (like before during or after an update has been performed on a particular row of a table) and how the action is going to be:

Annotation

java
@Eeca(
    entity = "MyEntity",
    operation = "create-store",
    event = "return",
    condition = "!empty(myParameter)",
    actions = {
        @EecaAction(service = "checkUpdateQuoteStatus", mode = "sync")
    }
)
public interface MyEntityReturnEeca {}
