Entity listener documentation contradicts EJB3 specification

Hi,

CAVEAT: It is possible the EJB3 specification has changed on this point, correct me if I'm wrong.

According to http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/entit ... eners.html entity listeners must be declared "public" but according to the final EJB3 specification section 3.5.1: "The callback methods can have public, private, protected, or package level access, but must not be static or final."

Should I file a bug against this in JIRA?

Thank you

the implementation doesn't care about the visibility. Open a JIRA issue, I'll fix the doc. Not that I don't see the point of a private method for that, but that's just me

While we're on a related topic, is @PostLoad implemented at all? I tried everything but Hibernate never invokes the method that's annotated with it. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Is this in the official cr1 release or only in SVN trunk? Is there maybe some sample code I can try out?

it is available in CR1, check the unit test suite for @PostLoad for a working example
