Hi together,

I have made a fix for this issue cause I always need this Feature.

Changes:

- Added an @Unversioned-Annotation in org.jboss.envers
- Added a List of unversioned Properties to the org.jboss.envers.metadata.data.PersistentClassVersioningData
- Changed org.jboss.envers.metadata.AnnotationsMetadataReader to read the @Unversioned-Annotation
- Change org.jboss.envers.metadata.VersionsMetadataGenerator to only generate Properties to the xy_versioned-Entity if they aren't
declared as unversioned.

Here's the sample-class from the demo:

package org.jboss.envers.demo;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;

import org.jboss.envers.Unversioned;
import org.jboss.envers.Versioned;

@Entity
@Versioned
public class Address {
 @Id
 @GeneratedValue
 private int id;

 private String streetName;

 private Integer houseNumber;

 @Unversioned
 private Integer flatNumber;

 public int getId() {
 return id;
 }

 public void setId(int id) {
 this.id = id;
 }

 public String getStreetName() {
 return streetName;
 }

 public void setStreetName(String streetName) {
 this.streetName = streetName;
 }

 public Integer getHouseNumber() {
 return houseNumber;
 }

 public void setHouseNumber(Integer houseNumber) {
 this.houseNumber = houseNumber;
 }

 public Integer getFlatNumber() {
 return flatNumber;
 }

 public void setFlatNumber(Integer flatNumber) {
 this.flatNumber = flatNumber;
 }

 public boolean equals(Object o) {
 if (this == o)
 return true;
 if (!(o instanceof Address))
 return false;

 Address address = (Address) o;

 if (id != address.id)
 return false;
 if (flatNumber != null ? !flatNumber.equals(address.flatNumber)
 : address.flatNumber != null)
 return false;
 if (houseNumber != null ? !houseNumber.equals(address.houseNumber)
 : address.houseNumber != null)
 return false;
 if (streetName != null ? !streetName.equals(address.streetName)
 : address.streetName != null)
 return false;

 return true;
 }

 public int hashCode() {
 int result;
 result = id;
 result = 31 * result + (streetName != null ? streetName.hashCode() : 0);
 result = 31 * result
 + (houseNumber != null ? houseNumber.hashCode() : 0);
 result = 31 * result + (flatNumber != null ? flatNumber.hashCode() : 0);
 return result;
 }
}

Here's my test-code:

 Map<String, String> configurationOverrides = new HashMap<String, String>();
 EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("ConsolePU", configurationOverrides);
 EntityManager entityManager = emf.createEntityManager();

 Address addy = new Address();
 addy.setFlatNumber(1);
 addy.setHouseNumber(1);
 addy.setStreetName("straße 1");

 entityManager.getTransaction().begin();
 entityManager.persist(addy);
 entityManager.getTransaction().commit();

 addy.setFlatNumber(2);

 entityManager.getTransaction().begin();
 entityManager.persist(addy);
 entityManager.getTransaction().commit();

 entityManager.close();
 emf.close();
