    Maven configuration required for Envers to work

    ijabz

      Try as I might I cannot get Hibernate Envers to create any Audit tables, I wonder if i missing anything from my maven configuration relating to transactions to get it to do what I want, this is what I have

       

         <dependency>

            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>

            <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>

            <version>3.6.10.Final</version>

          </dependency>

          <dependency>

            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>

            <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>

            <version>3.6.10.Final</version>

          </dependency>

          <dependency>

            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>

            <artifactId>hibernate-envers</artifactId>

            <version>3.6.10.Final</version>

          </dependency>

          Oh man I have tried just about everythiung I can think of and still no audit tables being created, can anyone confirm that Envers even works when not using JPA and persistence.xml

            Well it ocurred to me that the documentation glossed over creating the schema and didnt provide an example. Also there was nothing special I was doing when I called new SchemaExport(config).create(true, true) and I couldnt see how adding the event listeners or annotations would effect this.

             

            Eventually I found the problem you have to add

             

            config.setProperty(Environment.HBM2DDL_AUTO, "create-drop");

             

            to the configuration.

             

            But this doesnt seem to be documented anywhere

             

            Also it seems it now recreates hibernate classes when it first gets a SessionFactory  I dont want it to recreate the hibernate tables everytime I stert my application, only when I call my recreatedb() method.
