Steve, there are other reasons to support this request than autocommit.  We have a need to more tightly control the flushing, so we use manual flush, but we do NOT use auto-commit, which I agree is evil.  Will you be supporting this feature at any time in the future?

>     Currently Envers is designed so that it synchronizes with the currently running transaction in order to know when to commit the inserts into the Audit Tables.  This is an effective strategy for ensuring that the audit information is only saved to the database if the Transactional Unit of Work which caused the audit data to be created is committed.  
>     This design creates a limitation on Envers such that it cannot persist audit information unless there is an active transaction.  This effectively disables auditing for anyone modifying data using Hibernate outside of a Hibernate Transaction.  Specifically, if you are using Autocommit = True and manually flushing the Hibernate Session then you cannot have any of your data audited using Envers.  
>     I am not that well versed with the design of Envers but was hoping this situation could be detected and avoided. Maybe the audit information could be synchronized on the flush event rather than when a transaction is committed to the database.
