Well in this case you need to populate the audit records manually, yes.

Here's what I would do:

* insert a new row into the revision table, get back the id

* insert all your records, keeping the ids that were assigned to them

* insert into the audit table, using the revision number generated and rev type 0, for each row inserted before

Will that work for you?

Adam,

Is there a way I can insert audited records myself using Hibernate? I've done some research and I noticed  that envers is using Map based dynamic entities.

So I tried something like this:

//--- code

Session sessionMap = session.getSession(EntityMode.MAP);

Map<String, Object> mapOriginalId = new HashMap<String, Object>();

mapOriginalId.put("id", new Integer(1));
mapOriginalId.put("REV", revEntity); //revision entity already persisted

Map<String, Object> mapEntity = new HashMap<String, Object>();
mapEntity.put("originalId", mapOriginalId);
mapEntity.put("REVTYPE", RevisionType.ADD);
mapEntity.put("name", "My area");

sessionMap.save("AUD_com.me.Area", mapEntity);

//end of code

My entity has only one property, "name", as you can see above. Anyway, the problem is that I'm getting a ClassCastException. It says my revision entity cannot be cast to Map:

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.me.AudRevisionEntity cannot be cast to java.util.Map
        at org.hibernate.property.MapAccessor$MapGetter.get(MapAccessor.java:90)

        at org.hibernate.type.EntityType.getHashCode(EntityType.java:310)
        at org.hibernate.type.ComponentType.getHashCode(ComponentType.java:212)

What am I doing wrong?

Hmm this looks correct. Maybe if you could breakpoint on AbstractAuditWorkUnit.fillDataWithId, around line 68 and see how the map looks there?

Adam

Thanks again for the help, Adam.

So, it seems that the exception occurs before getting into AbstractAuditWorkUnit. Heres the full stack trace, the last two bottom entries are mine:
