Title Body

I'm learning doctrine2, and having a problem how to call constructor automatically. For example, in my entity I have /** * @Entity */ class User{ .... public function __construct() { exit('in'); } } and when I get the object this way: $userObj = $em->find('User', 1); I do get that object from database, but constructor is never called. I want to put some common things in constructor, like validation rules, or even to put sample code from the doctrine documentation like $this->comments = new ArrayCollection(); This ofcourse works when I create new object in code for creating a user like $user = new User(); //now constructor works just fine Now, what is the "proper" way of getting the entity? I doubt I have to call constructor manually each time I user $em->find() with $user0bj->__construct(); ? This would kinda sucks then... Or I should use something other then ->find() to get single entity properly? I know I can user @PrePersist, and I am using it to actually do validation checks etc. I guess that I'm probably missing something here, or I'm trying to use constructor in a poor way. Thanks for any explanations and guides!
