Well so we can define a listener for all the entities. that's pretty good but one more question is that if we use these entity listeners, can we still find out those fields that has been changed (dirty fields) for example in pre-update and persist the result in DB. As far as I know, inside the callback methods the context has been closed so you can't access the entity manager so we have to get it in a way to persist the result. Can we place the codes we are using in StoreListener inside the callback methods without any problem?
