Update and delete in one go

[agarwal.vishal]

Hi,
I am using envers for auditing purpose.
In my application, at the time of deletion, i need to update some fields also (E.g "reason for delete" etc). This can be acheived by first updating the entity and then remove it. But in this way there are 2 versions are created in audit table (By obvious reason). I do not want these two versions and just want only version which is due to deletion (with "reason for delete" value).
Is it possible by hibernate/envers?

If you're doing both operations in one transaction, this should be saved as one record in the audit table - is it not so?

Hm, just a thought:

Maybe rather than updating the entity with the reason (and then deleting it), you could put the reason into the revision enitity, like you would with the username who committed each change. So you don't update the entity, you just delete it right away, but add a new "Comment" column to your revision entity.

I guess you might temporily store the comment in the user's session so that the Revision Listener has access to it when adding the revision that did the delete.
