Hi. Is it possible to define dynamic-update or insert for an entity, but excluding some properties? (such as a "last update" property which I want always considered dirty, and so included in sql statement, even if has not been changed)

Hi! Why would you need this? JPA is here to layer out the persistence of your objects. Why would you want to dictate it some rules how it should do the updates, inserts etc?

This is a case:

- I want to define my user type for last_update_date, a property defined in almost all entities. I don't want a setter for the relative property.
The field is always not "dirty" so, if I want to involve my type, I have to declare my entity without dynamic update. And for me this is an important limitation.

I would like to define dynamic-update, but always have the last_update_date property included in UPDATE statements.

Any idea?
