Provide JPA equivalent to Hibernate Filters

[lukasj]

Hello guys,

following this question:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19361166/jpa-equivalent-for-hibernate-filters

I would like to suggest that you include JPA equivalent to Hibernate's Filter. I'm using the filters of hibernate quite a lot and I think they are very helpful, so now i'm bound to use hibernate and I can't switch my JPA implementation.

@glassfishrobot Commented c.beikov said: If Filters were added, it would be useful for libraries if we could add them before the EntityManagerFactory is constructed. Also see #12

@ptahchiev Commented Any update on this? Seems to be trivial.

It appears from this page that EclipseLink has something at least a bit similar to Filters in Hibernate, so perhaps this is a candidate for possible inclusion in JPA 4.
