[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-3879) Envers documentation: configuration of event listeners is incomplete for JPA: @PostPersist, @PostUpdate @PostRemove no longer work

Envers documentation: configuration of event listeners is incomplete for JPA: @PostPersist, @PostUpdate @PostRemove no longer work ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3879 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3879 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Task Components: envers Affects Versions: 3.3.x, 3.5 Reporter: Erik-Berndt Scheper Assignee: Adam Warski Fix For: 3.5 The Envers documentation proscribes the following configuration for JPA: <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.post-insert" value="org.hibernate.envers.event.AuditEventListener" /> <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.post-update" value="org.hibernate.envers.event.AuditEventListener" /> <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.post-delete" value="org.hibernate.envers.event.AuditEventListener" /> However, this conflicts with chapter 2.3 Event listeners in the Hibernate Entitymanager configuration, which states: <quote form entitymanager documentation> Hibernate Entity Manager needs to enhance Hibernate core to implements all the EJB3 semantics. It does that through the event listener system of Hibernate. Be careful when you use the event system yourself, you might override some of the EJB3 semantics. A safe way is to add your event listeners to the list given below. <table skipped> Note that the JACC*EventListeners are removed if the security is not enabled. </quote form entitymanager documentation> I have found that this is correct: when I use the proscribed configuration the following JPA annotations no longer work: @PostPersist, @PostUpdate @PostRemove To fix this, I have changed the configuration to: <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.post-insert" value="org.hibernate.ejb.event.EJB3PostInsertEventListener, org.hibernate.envers.event.AuditEventListener" /> <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.post-update" value="org.hibernate.ejb.event.EJB3PostUpdateEventListener, org.hibernate.envers.event.AuditEventListener" /> <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.post-delete" value="org.hibernate.ejb.event.EJB3PostDeleteEventListener, org.hibernate.envers.event.AuditEventListener" /> <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.pre-collection-update" value="org.hibernate.envers.event.AuditEventListener" /> <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.pre-collection-remove" value="org.hibernate.envers.event.AuditEventListener" /> <property name="hibernate.ejb.event.post-collection-recreate" value="org.hibernate.envers.event.AuditEventListener" /> Please update the envers documentation accordingly.
