Why do you think that your approach is not supported by JPA? From other
posts on this list I've seen that you are allowed to add/enrich your entity
in the PreUpdate/PreCreate callbacks. That's all you are doing right. Then
JPA persists your enriched entities.
I asked on this list a few months ago:

You can change the state of entities, but creating new entities is not
permitted by the JPA spec.
At the moment it does work, and I now what I'm going to do if it stops
working, so I'm happy.
I'd be happier if OpenJPA explicitly supported it, but it doesn't keep
me awake at night.
