Logging additional data through listeners question

[justinmiller]

Hi all,

So I understand this:

http://www.jboss.org/envers/revision_log.html

However, what if I want to add something like a user-entered comment as to why a change was made? The idea of using a listener is fine if you're going after "global" data, i.e. the name of the logged in user. But what we're trying to do is add a comment for a change.

Is there an easy way to do this that we're missing?

Thanks in advance,
Justin

Hello,

well, in Seam you would just lookup your event/conversation/..-scoped component and get the data ;).

Now if you can't do this ... you would have somehow to associate the data with the currect transaction, and read it in the listener. I don't have any good ideas right now, maybe others will help :)

I'm looking to do something similiar - is it possible to access the current entity or entity id from the listener? - i could use that to pass any additional data.

Hello,

well, there is no "current entity", as the revision entity is created per-transaction, which may contain many entity changes.
