dirty solution

I found a solution :

$entity->setPoint(new Point($newX, $newY));
$this->getDoctrine()->getManager()->flush();

Those 2 lines are working for me. If I remove the new instance, my coordinates are not updated. So with my form, I will be forced to listen the event "before user input" and insert the new instance, or handle this problem in my controller. It won't succeed with a PreUpdate function. Strange fix... but I really don't know how to do it in an another way.

small question

(I tried to run the test but I didn't succeed because I'm not comfortable with this notion, I never learnt to handle it. I'll try to learn asap and try to find a best fix. Btw if someone can give me the command to run the test files for this lib? I tried this : )

  $php ../phpunit.phar -c app/phpunit.xml.dist vendor/creof/doctrine2-spatial/tests/

and had a error with the autoload.php (require)

This is most probably the same reason as for DateTime objects: http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/cookbook/working-with-datetime.html#datetime-changes-are-detected-by-reference
