Conditional auditing questions...
I have the following Entities set up & linked together.
@Entity
@Audited
public class ProductOrder extends Entity {
@ManyToOne
private User user;
....
@Entity
@Audited
public class Address extends Entity {
@ManyToOne
private User user;
....
@Entity
@Audited
public class User extends Entity
@OneToMany(mappedBy="user")
private List<Address> addresses = new ArrayList<Address>();
private boolean enabled = false;
....
I have then configured custom EventListeners as described in the hibernate doc to perform conditional auditing - I only want to audit an User if it is enabled.
protected static boolean shouldAudit(PostInsertEvent event) {
boolean audit = true;
Object entity = event.getEntity();
if (entity instanceof User) {
User user = (User) entity;
audit = user.isEnable();
}
else if (entity instanceof java.util.HashMap) {
System.out.println("why is the entity a HashMap?");
}
if (audit) {
System.out.println("Audit: " + entity.getClass().getSimpleName());
}
return audit;
}
1) From the logging I noticed that occasionally the "entity" associated to the event is an instance of a HashMap.
This only seems to happen when the event.getPersister().getEntityName() is some sort of _AUD entity.
It seems odd that the "entity" is a HashMap. Is this the correct behaviour?
2) In my test case I created three Users - none of the Users are enabled, then I create a single ProductOrder associated to a given User.
I was expecting to get no rows in the USER_AUD table, but this is not the case.
It appears the @ManyToOne user field on Address is causing a USER_AUD row to be inserted.
If I mark this field as @NotAudited then there is still a row in the USER_AUD table... from the @ManyToOne user field on ProductOrder. Only if I mark both user fields as @NotAudited do I get no User auditing.
It seems only the "outermost" entity is checked by the conditional auditing and contained references bypass any conditional checks. Is this correct behaviour?
thanks in advance
