[eclipselink-dev] A Question expected behavior for callback events

[Mitesh Meswani <Mitesh.Meswani@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Consider following code.

          tx.begin();
          Employee e = em.find(Employee.class, EMPLOYEE_PK); // Find an 
entity
          e.setName("foo");    // Mutate it
          em.remove(e);        //Remove the entity (Looks silly here 
but a possibility)
          tx.commit();

I was expecting that a preUpdate event would not be raised for such 
case. EclipseLink does raise it. I am not able to think of a use case 
where the event can be useful. Infect if some one is performing audit 
logs on preUpdate events, this can actually trigger false entries. What 
do others think about this scenario?

Thanks,
Mitesh
