Pre insert is for inserts which means there is no existing.  You need 
pre-update for updates.  

In the object (Stem) is a "dbVersion()" and dbVersionDifferentFields() which 
will help you get the database version...  If you query for it you need a 
different tx...

Thanks
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] hooks.StemHooks ... stemPreUpdate : how to tell what 
is changing on the preInsertBean?

A very quick look at the methods on preInsertBean does not reveal any obvious 
"changing" data for the stem.

Maybe I would need to use the UUID to find the existing data via a FindStem 
search and then compare all of the data values from the bean and the 
"FimdStem" results of the two myself?

Any ideas/guidance?

If it helps, I am wanting to allow only *special* groups to modify the 
extention, Display names. But others should be allowed to updated the 
Description for the stems;. ( Thus writing a hook and I found this question.)

Thanks in advance.
