[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-7106) Documentation doesnt explain how to create audited tables

Documentation doesnt explain how to create audited tables --------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-7106 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7106 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Bug Components: envers Affects Versions: 4.0.1 Reporter: Paul Taylor The documentation doesnt explain how to create audited tables, it implies by just putting evers on your classpath (and creating event listeners on versions of hibernate earlier than 4) it will just work but it doesn't. To get it to work I add to add config.setProperty(Environment.HBM2DDL_AUTO, "create-drop"); to my configuration, without this a call to new SchemaExport(config).create(true, true); would not create the audited tables. Even now I'm not sure this is the correct way to do things but it is the only thing I've got to work. Although you might think this an unimportant issue because it is only documentation you would underestimate how difficult and fustrating it is to deleve into a new project when the documentation is inadequate, it almost led to be abandoning Envers.
