[hibernate-dev] Hibernate Envers question

[Steve Ebersole]

Envers works using *Hibernate* event listeners which are more fine grained
than JPA listeners/callbacks. JPA does not define all the events needed to
capture everything Envers does.

Also no other provider has this capability, which in my experience
sometimes makes it difficult to get into specs.
