Thanks Werner. I'll forward to the CDI EG (address is cdi-dev(a)lists.jboss.org).
I don't think you should be able to make an EntityListener into a bean, as the
listener is stateless, there is little point in being able to inject it into another bean.
Instead, I would propose that EntityListeners are simply added to the list of Java EE
components which are able to be injected. This means they can be injected, but are not
available for injection into other components.
