/**
* Used to enhance or override the default bean persistence mechanism.
*
* Note that if want to totally change the finding, you need to use a BeanQueryAdapter
* rather than using postLoad().
*
*
* Note that getTransaction() on the PersistRequest returns the transaction used
* for the insert, update, delete or fetch. To explicitly use this same
* transaction you should use this transaction via methods on EbeanServer.
*
*
*
*
* Object extaBeanToSave = ...;
* Transaction t = request.getTransaction();
* EbeanServer server = request.getEbeanServer();
* server.save(extraBeanToSave, t);
*
*
*
*
* It is worth noting that BeanPersistListener is different in three main ways
* from BeanPersistController postXXX methods.
*
* - BeanPersistListener only sees successfully committed events.
* BeanController pre and post methods occur before the commit or a rollback and
* will see events that are later rolled back
* - BeanPersistListener runs in a background thread and will not effect the
* response time of the actual persist where as BeanController code will
* - BeanPersistListener can be notified of events from other servers in a
* cluster.
*
*
*
* A BeanPersistController is either found automatically via class path search
* or can be added programmatically via ServerConfiguration.addEntity().
