Events from a JPA entity to a component

[nbhatia.bhatian.comcast.net]

Is it possible to send events from a JPA entity to a Seam Component? For example:

@Entity
public class Account {
    public void close() {
        Events.instance().raiseEvent("accountClosed", this.id);
    }
}

All examples I have seen so far are from component to component.

Thanks.
