Kind of exception of Lifecycle Callback Method

Question

I understood right ? Lifecycle callback methods can throw only RuntimeException ? They can't throw ApplicationException ?
Instead AroundInvoke methods can throw both type of exception ,
is true this?
If it is , there is a way to gain control after a @PrePersist method throw a RuntimeException ?
My original problem , is a bit common :
When I perform any operation on Entity, I have to check my business validation rules first to call persist method , then I thinked to put my rules on a metohd into entity class and anotate it with @PrePersist and @PreUpdate annotation.
But when my validation method throw my BusinessException ( annotated as @ApplicationException) I get a ClassCastException with message content " full path class name of BusinessException" and client get an EJBException
Then I can't gain control on my validation process.
Maybe I haven't to put validation method on entity class ,but on Facade Session Bean that call the em.persist() , and use Interceptor facility ?
Following a resume code of my problem :
@Stateless
class myFacadeBean{
public insertEntity(MyEntity entity){
try{
em.persist(entity)
catch (Exception) {
manage some ApllicationException
class MyEntity {
@PrePersist
void doValidate(){
throw new BusinessValidation(...);
}

I managed to defeat the problem I was having, but I should mention that neither one of those exception type handlers got called. Of course, CException - as the base class - should by all rights have caught any of them.
The try/catch was this:
COleVariant v = /* unsigned char */;
try {
m_DIO.SingleWrite(v);
catch (COleException* pE) {
/* handle */
catch (COleDispatchException* pE) {
/* handle */
catch (CException* pE) {
/* handle */
catch (...) {
/* handle */
The catch(...) block always got called.
