[hibernate-dev] JPA callback listeners and CDI

[Emmanuel Bernard]

Looks good in theory but I see two hindrance

- JPA and BV already define a way to interact with each other and the CDI integration has been mirrored
  consistency is good in this case
- we could convince the JPA EG but that will require time an energy on something that already works ok

If we end up with spare time, we could try.

This would also avoid a direct dependency from JPA to CDI altogether (implementation-wise). The JPA spec would just require the EE container to plug in a CDI-aware factory, similar to what we've been discussing for BV constraint validators.
