Persistency callbacks not being called

Hi
Tried to find clues in existing topics but found none.

I'm trying to use a simple callback like this:

Code:

@Entity
public class TypeA{
   @Id
   @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
   protected Integer id;
   
   @Column
   protected String str;

   @PrePersist
   protected void myPrePersistMethod(){
      System.err.println("<<<<<<<<<<@@");
   }
}

I then call a code like this:

Code:

      HibernateTemplate ht = (HibernateTemplate) applicationContext.getBean("hibernateTemplate");
      dnl.pg.hibernate.TypeA aa = new dnl.pg.hibernate.TypeA();
      aa.str = "st";
      ht.save(aa);

And my @PrePersist is never called.
I also tried it with an @EntityListeners variation ... didn't work as well.

As mentioned in one of the unconcluded topics (http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=987782&highlight=prepersist) This is a JPA feature. Is it possible that it is not implemented?

Thanks for any clue ...

It is implemented but as also posted in the mentioned topic try to use hibernate's entityManager instead of accessing Session directly.
