The @PreUpdate callback is not called when entity is updated

Using the EntityManager beta1 I saw that the @PreUpdate callback is not called when the entity is updated.

To showcase that here is a Test case for the EntityManager TestSuite.

replace the testEntityListener method on CallbacksTest with the following code:

Code:

   public void testEntityListener() throws Exception {
       EntityManager em = factory.createEntityManager();
      Cat c = new Cat();
      c.setName("Kitty");
      c.setDateOfBirth( new Date(90, 11, 15) );
      em.getTransaction().begin();
      em.persist(c);
      em.getTransaction().commit();

      em.getTransaction().begin();
      c = em.find( Cat.class, c.getId() );
      assertNotNull( c.getLastUpdate());
      Date date1=c.getLastUpdate();
      c.setName("new name!");
      em.getTransaction().commit();

      em.getTransaction().begin();
      c = em.find( Cat.class, c.getId() );
      assertNotNull( c.getLastUpdate() );
      Date date2=c.getLastUpdate();
      if( date1.equals(date2) )
         fail("Should not be equal.");
      em.getTransaction().commit();
      em.close();
   }

So, submit to JIRA, with a simple, runnable test case.

It was called but the entity state changes were not propagated. I fixed that in CVS. Thanks.
