XPOST - @PostPersist called before Transaction ends

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a @PostPersist EntityListener which I expected to be called after the transaction is finished and the data is in the database, however this doesn't seem to be the case. The EntityListener is called before the transaction ends when the data is not yet in the database, meaning a rollback can occur after the EntityListener has been called.
Is this the expected behaviour of PostPersist? if so it's rather confusing and I don't see how in practice it's different from @PrePersist?

These threads touch on the issue also, but neither recieved an answer.

Has anyone else experienced this? Surely this is bug? is there Jira issue for this?

If I am missing something here, please could somebody let me know, but from my understanding this essentially makes the PostPersist EntityListener useless in real world situations, because you can never actually be sure that data is in the database or not.

Is there a work around?

Does anyone else think this is a bug?
