> Dear OpenJPA team,
> I tested a peculiar use of annotations on methods declared into an interface :
> public interface EntityHeader {
>     public long getId();
> }
> public interface EntityHistorizable<E extends EntityHeader> {
> /* .... other methods ....*/
>     @PostLoad
>     public void postLoad();
>     
>     @PrePersist
>     public void prePersist();
> }
> public class Task implements Serializable, EntityHistorizable<Task>, EntityHeader {
> /* .... Implementations .... */
>     @Override
>     public void postLoad() {
> 	System.out.println("postLoad");
>     }
>     @Override
>     public void prePersist() {
> 	System.out.println("prePersist");
>     }
> }
> When I perform a persist/find operation on the "Task" entity, OpenJPA don't execute postLoad/prePersist methods because annotations are applied in the interface. I don't know if it's a good practice, but it will be useful in the case who want to provide a "pattern" interface, for example.
