[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - Entity value already changed in @PreUpdate method

I need to know the before and after values when an update occurs. I can clearly see using the debugger that when the preupdate annotated method is called the value of interest already has the new value/changed! My intent was to save the old value in the @PreUpdate method and then use it during the @PostUpdate for comparison. With this behavior this approach wont work. Isn't the entity supposed to have the old value during @PreUpdate method call?
