Custom RevisionInfoGenerator

[hernanbolido]

Hi!
I need to use an assigned id on my revision entity and set the timestamp to the revision without calling System.currentTimeMillis() (as DefaultRevisionInfoGeneratos does). I can do this inside my revision listener, but it would be better if I give envers my own revisionInfoGenerator.

I think about adding a new value to RevisionEntity annotation in order to provide a custom revisionInfoGenerator. Using the same idea that is used to give a custom revisionListener. So, in RevisionInfoConfiguration.configure() the custom revision info generator class could be read and instanciated...

Adam, what do you think about?

Thanks. Hernán.

Hello,

why is it better to have a custom revision info generator instead of a revision listener?

Hello!

Well, maybe "better" is not the correct adjetive...

It seems to me to be a more elegant approach do this providing a custom revision info configurator, but it´s not a restriction.

Thanks! Hernán.

But why? Would the features be different?

Hello!

It doesn't mane any difference... So, i think it's unnecessary.

Thanks for your time!
