AuditJoinTable does not default to a concatenation of the primary table names, as stated in Doumentation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6087 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6087 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.6.2, 3.5.6 Environment: Oracle Reporter: Robin Gersabeck Priority: Minor The Documentation at http://docs.jboss.org/envers/api-new/org/hibernate/envers/AuditJoinTable.... states that the AuditJoinTable "defaults to a concatenation of the names of the primary table of the entity owning the association and of the primary table of the entity referenced by the association." Instead, the default is the concatenation of the two entities' class names. The behavior described in the documentation is preferable to the actual behavior, since it's easy for two concatenated class names to result in an AuditJoinTable name over 30 characters, which Oracle does not support. The relevant part of the code can be found in CollectionMetadataGenerator.java:272 in Hibernate 3.6.2: {quote} return StringTools.getLastComponent(entityName) + "_" + StringTools.getLastComponent(MappingTools.getReferencedEntityName(value.getElement())); {quote} I figured out how to make the second part of the concatenation use the proper table name (but I did not figure out how to also fix the first part yet): {quote} return StringTools.getLastComponent(entityName) + "_" + value.getElement().getTable().getName(); {quote} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
