Custom Listener Definition in Hibernate

Question

I wrote a Custom Listener. But when i tries to set it in Hibernate Configuration as in

Configuration configuration=new Configuration().setListener("save-Update",XYZClass);

It states that there is no function with the name setListener. Help me out what am i doing wrong. My Hibernate Version id 4.02

That is not valid Java code. Invoking a constructor needs parentheses: `new Configuration()`. — JB Nizet, Nov 13 '14 at 08:22
The Issue is still i can't acces the method setListener() but ih Hibernate Documentation it is stated that setListener() is a valid function — Muneeb Tariq, Nov 13 '14 at 09:14
Are you sure you're reading the documentation of Hibernate 4.x? Could you provide the link? — sp00m, Nov 13 '14 at 09:23

Hibernate 4.x do not have setListener method, this method is available in Hibernate 3.x version only.

In Hibernate 4.x you can use interceptors, go through this link for details:
