Sanity check "set" for a persistent field?

How does one perform a sanity check on a "set" method of an entity bean's EJB?

For example, let's say it's an Integer. I might want to add some code somewhere that's something like:

if (newval.intValue() < 0)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Blah blah blah");

But I can't just add that to the persistent field's "set" method in the bean class, because such methods are abstract.

Thanks in advance for any help.
