Hibernate Envers for EclipseLink (Entity Auditing)

Question

I have been looking at Hibernate Envers for entity auditing. I'm using EclipseLink but I'd like something similar.

I've seen some implementations that involve creating a SessionCustomizer to handle some of the persistence of auditing data. I'd really like something like Hibernate where I can simply annotate the entity and have the same effect.

Is there any other solution today? did any one use Javers / audi4j? would it fit? — a.k, May 30 '18 at 15:40

Unfortunately, EclipseLink doesn't have a feature which covers auditing out-of-the-box.

We use a SessionEventListener to intercept a flush or commit and use the calculated changeset for inserting the auditing data into audit tables.

There is support for auditing of entities in EclipseLink. They call it History.

History is a good feature. But it cannot work well with batch write. Batch write is disabled after you applied history policy. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37848686/eclipselink-batch-write-is-disabled-when-use-history-policy-or-descriptoreventad – Jacky Jun 29 '16 at 08:23
