Description

Entity callback inheritance implemented per CAY-669 can't address one JPA requirement (footnote [22] on page 62 of the spec):

"Note that if a method overrides an inherited callback method but specifies a different lifecycle event or is not a lifecycle callback
method, the overridden method will be invoked."

"java.reflect.Method#invoke" behavior is polymorphic, so calling a super doesn't seem possible via normal Java reflection... So a class enhancemen seems to be required to call "super" from within the object. Is there any other way to do that?
