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.

The lifecycle of an entity listener is unspecified" at the page 95 of the Expert Group Draft 2. to "The lifecycle of an entity listener is unspecified in unmanaged environments. An EJB 3.2 @Stateless, @Singleton or CDI managed bean can also receive callback events",
