Actually, it looks like I *didn't* misunderstand how this works. A Hibernate forum post mentions that the EJB3 lifecycle callbacks only work if you're using EntityManager, i.e. an embedded EJB3 container. Which I'm not -- I'm using the microcontainer-based Hibernate example for my configuration.
Anyone know offhand? Is it true that if I'm using the Tomcat / microcontainer / no-EJB3 configuration, that EJB3 lifecycle callbacks (e.g. @PreUpdate) won't be called? If so, does this mean that @EntityListeners won't work either without going to an embeddedEjb configuration? And in general, is there any reason to prefer the microcontainer config (a la the Seam Hibernate example) to the embeddedEjb config (a la the blog example)? Seems like the microcontainer style might be strictly less useful...? Thanks....
