Hibernate entity filters with Spring data repositories

Question

I'm attempting to use Hibernate 4's Entity level @Filter's with Spring data repositories inside of a Spring Boot project. My end goal is to implement a generic soft delete with something a bit more flexible then Hibernate's @Where annotation.

After a bit of a struggle I've come to the possibly naive solution that this could be handled using an @Aspect

I set up a Spring managed aspect with the aim to intercept calls to the shared EntityManager and enable the appropriate filter.

I played around with a few different pointcuts and it looks like execution(public * javax.persistence.EntityManager.find(..)) is an ok place to bind this advice.

@Aspect
@Component
public class HibernateFilterInterceptor {

    private final EntityManager entityManager;
    private final PlatformTransactionManager platformTransactionManager;

    @Autowired
    public HibernateFilterInterceptor(EntityManager entityManager, PlatformTransactionManager platformTransactionManager) {
        this.entityManager = entityManager;
        this.platformTransactionManager = platformTransactionManager;
    }

    @Before("execution(public * javax.persistence.EntityManager.find(..))")
    public void beforeFind(){

    }

From the Hibernate docs/examples it seems like I should be able to enable the filter using something like entityManager.unwrap(Session.class).enableFilter("filter").setParameter("foo", 1);

So to test I defined a simple filter on a single entity.

@FilterDef(name = "status", parameters = @ParamDef(name = "status", type = "integer"))
@Filters(
    @Filter(name = "status", condition = ":status = status")
)
public class Entity{

And enabled it in my advice

@Before("execution(public * javax.persistence.EntityManager.find(..))")
public void beforeFind(){
 entityManager.unwrap(Session.class).enableFilter("status").setParameter("status", 1);
}

And the filter is not applied.
