Description

I'm using the JPA @EntityListeners(AuditEntityListener.class) and the audit functionality of Deltaspike Data (@CreatedOn, @ModifiedOn and @ModifiedBy annotations) on an entity bean with the difference that I have a custom implementation of java.time.ChronoLocalDateTime which converts any LocalDateTime + ZoneOffset OR a ZonedDateTime to be the UTC date & time.

Is there a way to implement my own org.apache.deltaspike.data.impl.audit.PrePersistAuditListener and org.apache.deltaspike.data.impl.audit.PreUpdateAuditListener and use them to create the instance of UTCDateTime required by he fields marked with @InsertedOn and @ModiefiedOn?
