How to ignore the `@PostPersist` when saving a model in morphia?

Question

I have a model which has a method annotated with @PostPersist:

@Entity
class User extends Model {
    private String name;
    // getter and setter
    @PostPersist
    public void _postPersist() {
        // do something
    }
}

Now when I save a user, the _postPersist() method will be called automatically.

But now I have to save a user and ignore the _postPersist() method temporarily, is there any way to do this?

What about

@Entity
class User extends Model {
    private String name;
    private transient boolean ignorePostPersist = false;
    public User ignorePostPersist() {ignorePostPersist = true; return this;}
    public void ignorePostPersist(boolean b) {ignorePostPersist = b; return this;}
    // getter and setter
    @PostPersist
    public void _postPersist() {
        if (ignorePostPersist) return;
        // do something
    }
    public void saveWithoutPostPersist() {
        ignorePostPersist = true;
        try {
            save();
        } finally {
            ignorePostPersist = false;
        }
    }
}
...
User user = ...
user.saveWithoutPostPersist();
