Entity value already changed in @PreUpdate method

[lpmon]

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?

Using:
JBoss AS 4.0.5 w/EJB3
Hibernate 3.2.5
Seam 1.2.1

A work-around addressed my needs.

I save the value of interest in @PostLoad and use it in @PreUpdate.
