Hibernate Envers unable to extend DefaultRevisionEntity - spring

Question

I'm trying to extend the DefaultRevisionEntity in order to add a username to the current revision entity. However, instead of simply adding the new field, it's creating a completely new table. Code is as follows
AuditRevisionEntity
package com.example.demo;
import org.hibernate.envers.DefaultRevisionEntity;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.EntityListeners;
#Entity
#EntityListeners(AuditRevisionListener.class)
public class AuditRevisionEntity extends DefaultRevisionEntity {
private String user;
public String getUser() {
return user;
}
public void setUser(String user) {
this.user = user;
}
}
AuditRevisionListener
package com.example.demo;
import org.hibernate.envers.RevisionListener;
public class AuditRevisionListener implements RevisionListener {
#Override
public void newRevision(Object revisionEntity) {
AuditRevisionEntity rev = (AuditRevisionEntity) revisionEntity;
rev.setUser("MYUSER");
}
}
User
package com.example.demo;
import org.hibernate.envers.Audited;
import javax.persistence.*;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotBlank;
import javax.validation.constraints.Size;
#Entity
#Audited
#Table(name = "users")
public class User {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
#Column(name = "id")
private Long id;
#NotBlank()
#Size(min = 1, max = 100)
#Column(name = "email")
private String email;
#NotBlank()
#Size(min = 1, max = 100)
#Column(name = "password")
private String password;
}
Resulting in

Answer 1

Your custom RevisionEntity is missing the required #RevisionEntity annotation.
package com.example.demo;
import org.hibernate.envers.DefaultRevisionEntity;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.EntityListeners;
#Entity
#RevisionEntity( AuditRevisionListener.class )
public class AuditRevisionEntity extends DefaultRevisionEntity {
private String user;
public String getUser() {
return user;
}
public void setUser(String user) {
this.user = user;
}
}
More info and a code sample can be found in the Envers documentation

I believe I have fixed this with adding the table to the custom entity pointing to the main revinfo table
#Entity
#RevisionEntity( AuditRevisionListener.class )
#Table(name = "revinfo")
public class AuditRevisionEntity extends DefaultRevisionEntity {
private String user;
public String getUser() {
return user;
}
public void setUser(String user) {
this.user = user;
}
}
