[hibernate-dev] Patch for HHH-6361 / HHH-6349 : Envers loses audit information due to a Hibernate core bug

[Scheper, Erik-Berndt]

Hi, 

I've updated the original pull request (https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-core/pull/118) to address the Map sizing issue. I've also removed a few debug log statements which could provoke a NPE.

I've also done the 4.0 port and added a new pull request for the current master (https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-core/pull/132) .

Regards,

Erik-Berndt Scheper

Looks good.  I added a few minor comments.  I'd like to see the Map
sizing thing addressed and the 4.0 port done, but I have no problems
with these changes.

Since there is no way to retrieve this information from the database at a later moment, this is really bad from the Envers (auditing) perspective.

This is a good thing, of course.

As a rule, that's a bad sign.

The reason of the NPE is that MembershipWithCompositeId now has a non-null "Id" property, with a null value of the userId and groupId properties. Even though it was easy to fix the test by overriding the deleteMembership()-method in ManyToManyAssociationClassCompositeIdTest by setting the "Id" property of MembershipWithCompositeId to null, this doesn't feel good to me.
