Understanding MappedSuperClass with Envers

[tsnyman]

Hi ,

I have a few questions with regards to @MappedSuperClass with Envers.

I have a @MappedSuperclass that is subclassed by several entities. I am only interested in auditing some of these entities. The MappedSuperclass is not annotated with @Audited. In the MappedSuperClass I have a ManyToOne relationship with annotation @Audited(targetAuditMode=RelationTargetAuditMode.NOT_AUDITED)

Firstly with the @Audited(targetAuditMode=RelationTargetAuditMode.NOT_AUDITED) , I get that all subclasses are automatically audited even though MappedSuperclass is not audited. Is this correct (expected) behaviour?

Secondly is there a way to explicitly only audit subclasses that are annotated as @Audited in the above scenario.

I am using Envers with Hibernate3.6.0.Final

This is a known problem - if you have a @MappedSuperclass but you want to audit it only sometimes, see: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5917

Comments on how to solve this nicely are welcome .

Also, @Audited(targetAuditMode=RelationTargetAuditMode.NOT_AUDITED)  only has effect when annotating relations - if the source entity is audited, but the target one not.
