The above URL has an example of how to register lifecycle callbacks from YAML, but actually it does not work. The correct way of doing it is mentioned on the page: http://www.doctrine-project.org/docs/orm/2.0/en/reference/yaml-mapping.html

Both pages now have the same documentation.

My configuration was slightly different from the example.

Changed some of the details to protect the innocent.

  lifecycleCallbacks:
    prePersist: [ prePersist ]
    preFlush: [ preFlush ]
