Force version of parent to be updated

Question

The UnitOfWork has a method, forceUpdateToVersionField, that's used to perform the task. I was wondering whether there is global setting or API that I can use so that all my domain objects will have this behavior. That way I don't have to issue uow.forceUpdateToVersionField(obj, true) for all my root objects inside uow.
I appreciate your information.

Thanks SebTardif for your response. It is helpful.
Currently this application uses TopLink 9.0.4.4. They will need to upgrade to TopLink 10.1.3.x to use the feature.
For now, I'd still need a workaround solution. Could someone comment on the following approach:
public class Employee {
    // domain object methods
    public void handlePostDelete(DescriptorEvent event) {
        // handler implementation
        oracle.toplink.publicinterface.UnitOfWork uow = (oracle.toplink.publicinterface.UnitOfWork)event.getSession();
        uow.forceUpdateToVersionField(this, true);
}It seems to work fine in my local testing.
I greatly appreciate your responses.
