TestNG: How to skip @BeforeMethod call for some tests

I am using TestNG for unit testing. I am using @BeforeMethod to save record and then execute the update, search, delete tests.

I am looking for the option where I can avoid executing @BeforeMethod method call for some test cases. For example, I have three tests save, update and delete. In this case, I only want to call @BeforeMethod for update and delete test not for save test. Any Idea?

Please note that, I don't want to use @DependesOnMethods as it is not recommended.

Thanks in advance.

My Test class looks like below:

@ContextConfiguration("file:application-context-test.xml")
@TransactionConfiguration(transactionManager = "transactionManager", defaultRollback = true)
public class MyEntityTest {

    int long myEntityId; 

    @BeforeMethod 
    public saveRecord(){
      session=getCurrentSessionFactory()
      myEntity = new myEntity();
      myEntityId = session.save(myEntity)
    }

    @Test
    public saveTest(){
      session=getCurrentSession()
      myEntity =session.getByID(myEntityId)
      session.save(myEntity)
    }

    @Test
    public updateTest(){
      session=getCurrentSession()
      myEntity =session.getByID(myEntityId)
      session.update(myEntity)
    }
}

TestNG supports native injection of some parameters, for example the information about the method to be called. So you could use the following approach:

import java.lang.reflect.Method;
...
@BeforeMethod 
public saveRecord(Method method){
  if (!method.getName().equals("saveTest")) {
    session=getCurrentSessionFactory()
    myEntity = new myEntity();
    myEntityId = session.save(myEntity)
  }
}
