 Spring Data JDBC triggers events that get published to any matching `ApplicationListener` beans in the application context.
+Events and callbacks get only triggered for aggregate roots.
+If you want to process non-root entities, you need to do that through a listener for the containing aggregate root.
 
-Entity lifecycle events can be costly and you may notice a change in the performance profile when loading large result sets.

 If you want to handle events only for a specific domain type you may derive your listener from `AbstractRelationalEventListener` and overwrite one or more of the `onXXX` methods, where `XXX` stands for an event type.
-Callback methods will only get invoked for events related to the domain type and their subtypes so you don't require further casting.
