Omitting an entity from auditing

[nickarls]

Hi,

I had an entity Foo which was not audited but it was in a relation to an audited entity so I put a

@Audited(targetAuditMode = RelationTargetAuditMode.NOT_AUDITED)

on it. Now when I save the Foo entity itself, I see Envers trying to insert into Foo_AUD which kind of defeats the purpose. Any way around this?

That's if you'd have an audited entity having a relation to a non-audited entity. If you simple have a relation in a non-audited entity pointing to an audited one, you don't need anything.

The problem is I have something like

{code}

@Audited

private Bar bar {

  private Foo foo;

}

{code}

but I never want Foo audited and I get the "An audited relation from... such as mapping is possible" so I had to stick the annotation on Foo. Now when I persist Foo on its own, Envers thinks I want Foo audited, just looking at the @Audited and not looking at the semantics of it(?)

Just put @NotAudited or @Audited(relationTargetMode=NOT_AUDITED) on the field (Foo foo), depending if you want to store the history of what foothe bar was pointing to, or not.

Hey, that could actually work. I mis-interpreted the error message and put the annotation on the target entity and not the offending relation-field.
