Lifecycle callbacks on embeddables, possible or not?

[holtkamp]

Encountered behaviour where embeddables seem not to respect lifecycle callbacks, but do "listen" to a given configuration, as also described here.

The documentation does not mention embeddables, so I suppose it is not supported. If so: might be good to document this more explicitly?

The strange thing: when defining a lifecycle callback that points to a non-existing function: an exception is thrown, so the definition is respected.

Not possible: an embeddable has no lifecycle on its own. The lifecycle is the one of the entity.

Wow, < 1 minute response time, raspact!

Should I submit a PR for the documentation on the Entity LifeCycle to explicitly indicate this will not work for embeddables? Or... is that too much 😉 . Maybe others have the same "use case".

Sending a PR to the docs would be fab! Marco Pivetta http://twitter.com/Ocramius http://ocramius.github.com/

This behaviour is also discussed in #4568, and can maybe be covered using https://packagist.org/packages/tarifhaus/doctrine-nullable-embeddable
