Description terje7601 2014-04-25 12:35:41 UTC 
In the class below, the method "doSomething" is marked as unused, but JPA will actually invoke the method.

This kind of methods isn't limited to JPA (& not even to Java EE), so this should be solved in a generic way (e.g. by being able to specify a list of annotations & by default having all known Java EE annotations in the list).

class User implements Serializable {

	@PostLoad
	private void doSomething() {}

}

Dusane, please is there any Java API we can use to fix that?
Comment 2 Dusan Balek 2014-06-20 18:13:16 UTC 
Unfortunately, there is no such support yet :-(
Comment 3 Martin Fousek 2014-07-03 06:45:56 UTC 
Looks like the bug is duplicate. Of course once the API would be available there will be necessary to filter all life-cycle or similar methods. Feel free to reassign that then.
