On/Off envers for selected entities in runtime

[chand0s]

Hi

I need to control envers behavour in runtime.

For example, my application has 10 versioned entities and I want to turn off writing revisions for 3 of them for 10 minutes (for example) and turn on again after 10 minutes. Is there any ability to do it?

I guess the -easiest- way for you to control this would be to wrap the envers listeners with your own, and add your own enable/disable functionality.

Hello,

there is no out-of-the box way to do it, and talios's advice is very good - that's the way you should do it.

Also, if you wish, you could always propose a patch to fix this; it would be very welcome - I think other users have been requesting it as well.

Thank you, it is really a very easy solution. It took about 15 minutes

I think that I need much more knowledge about envers internals and "envers way" :)

I've looked at sources, but I still have some questions, for example - how configuration class must look like etc.

However I can create feature request in JIRA :)

Ok, thanks :)

If you would like to dive into Envers and contribute, and have some questions about the code, feel free to ask :)

Hi chand0s, can you post your code that overridden newRevision to disable the hibernate audit?

Thank you

package com.successfactors.xi.persistence.hibernate;

import org.jboss.envers.RevisionListener;
import org.jboss.seam.Component;

public class ExampleListener implements RevisionListener {

public void newRevision(Object revisionEntity) {
RevEntity revEntity = (RevEntity) revisionEntity;
// do not audit this entity .....
// .......
}
}

Hi,

Let me elaborate more on the code needed. I'm looking at executeInSession() but it doesn't have any conditions to turn off auditing per entity. Or I can't seem to see it :) if it does.
