From: "Steve Ebersole" <steve(a)hibernate.org&gt; To: "Gail Badner" <gbadner(a)redhat.com&gt;, "Hibernate" <hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Sent: Monday, July 20, 2015 2:59:00 PM Subject: Re: [hibernate-dev] org.hibernate.jpa.AvailableSettings.EVENT_LISTENER_PREFIX 2 very different things. AvailableSettings.EVENT_LISTENER_PREFIX identifies Hibernate event listeners that the user wants incorporated into the org.hibernate.event.service.spi.EventListenerRegistry. It does not name JPA listeners/callbacks; that is done through JPA specific means via annotations. So no, AvailableSettings.EVENT_LISTENER_PREFIX should not be deprecated. In fact I am not even sure why you are asking that. So either I completely missed your point, or you did not explain why you thought it should be removed. I guess maybe you are blurring the distinction between the 2 concepts of callbacks?
