We have been a user of Envers for ~18 months and recently upgraded to Hibernate 3.6 for a variety of reasons, including the read/write expression feature that it offers to satisfy data encryption requirements for our application. Upon initial testing and analysis it appears that Envers is not honoring the read/write expressions that we have defined within our Hibernate XML mapping files.
Does anyone know if Envers supports the read/write feature at this time for entity mappings defined in Hibernate XML files? If not, I would like to hear any suggestions on how to overcome this in the near term, aside from not auditing our encrypted data columns.
This isn't yet implemented in Envers. Please file a JIRA feature request . Also, I think it should be pretty easy to add, so maybe you'd like to try creating a pull request?
