I've noticed that during the PRE_UPDATE lifecycle callback, if you update a different object the PRE_UPDATE callback is not invoked for that object before the commit occurs. It would be preferable to have the callback still execute before the commit.
For example, I am using PRE_UPDATE to conditionally update a modification time attribute. In some cases I want to update other objects in PRE_UPDATE as well in response to a change. If I do that I find that PRE_UPDATE is not being called on these other objects and that their modification time doesn't change (although all the changes as saved). Is it ok to change this behavior? I assume PRE_PERSIST behaves the same way, but I haven't tried it. John
