[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-998?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Paul Robinson updated JBTM-998: ------------------------------- Description: Currently following lifecycle method (and any other that is declared private) will never be invoked: {code} @Compensate private void cancelOrder() { ... } {code} This is because it is declared private and thus never seen by the reflection mechanism.

However, private methods in the super class can not be found. was: Currently following lifecycle method (and any others) will never be invoked: {code} @Compensate private void cancelOrder() { ... } {code} This is because it is declared private and thus never seen by the reflection mechanism.
