Get created revision id back

[veitg]

Hi.

Is it possible to get the created revision id back from Envers after persist() or similar has been invoked?

Ok, I guess I've found what I've been looking for:

<T> T getCurrentRevision(Class<T> revisionEntityClass, boolean persist)

mentioned in:

http://www.warski.org/blog/2012/07/generational-caching-and-envers/

But that means I have to create/implement a revision entity before I can access the revision? Or can I simply use:

DefaultRevisionEntity

as mentioned in the docs?:

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.1/devguide/en-US/html/ch15.html#envers-revisionlog

So after I persist() my entites via EntityManager, I call the above method with getCurrentRevision(DefaultRevisionEntity.class, false) and I can

get the created revisionId from the returned object?

What about the RevisionListener. If it gets invoked, does the revision entity passed to it already contain the current revision or will it be set later by Envers?

This isn't quite clear in the docs.

You can use the DefaultRevisionEntity.

In the revision listener, the id won't be yet available.
