Hibernate Envers integration

[m-jayson]

Hi,

I would like to ask if we have a way to properly integrate hibernate envers?
either the hibernate envers of quarkus-hibernate-envers?

I tried using quarkus-hibernate-envers but it is giving me

Caused by: org.hibernate.envers.exception.AuditException: Unable to create revision because of non-active transaction

I tried looking at the documentation but I can't find envers or auditing or is it currently not supported?

Thanks

Hi,
Envers is currently not supported with Hibernate Reactive.
We haven't looked into it yet.

[m-jayson]

Thanks for the fast response @DavideD .. But are you gonna look in to it in the future?

[Sanne]

Hi @mgonzaga1990 , we're not planning to look at it in the near future. We might revisit this in a year or more as there's many other things that need priority, so I'll close this for now.

I would like to bring this topic back up seeing as its over 1 year on and a feature I would love!

[DavideD]

I'm afraid the situation hasn't changed

[SMakhrov]

@Sanne , could you please clarify situation? We really need this

[Sanne]

@SMakhrov hi - while I think this would be really nice to have, this particular feature request is not very high in the list of strategic things we'll need to work on ourselves so it's unlikely that me or @DavideD will be implementing this, but if you or others volunteer to try it and send a pull request we'd be happy to help with guidance, suggestions and reviews.

At this point I don't know how hard it is - it's probably not too much work as Envers builds on top of the model that ORM core provides, so I expect only the cases in which Envers interfaces directly with statement execution would need to be adapted.

I would suggest make a POC ?

@Sanne, please could you say where I can find requirements for PR in this issue?
My team is analysing the way of making audit via reactive Envers, so probably we can take part in contribution.

[DavideD]

Sorry, that's my fault if we haven't a contribution guideline yet.
We use the same guidelines Hibernate ORM uses. You can find them on the website: https://hibernate.org/community/contribute/guidelines/

Here's a summary:

• Make sure that the PR is rebased to the latest changes on main, we don't usually want to see the merge commits in the git history
• How to build the project: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-reactive#gradle-build
• Code templates: The Hibernate ORM ones available at https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-ide-codestyles
• Make sure that the classes have the copyright (it should be already included in the code templates):

  /* Hibernate, Relational Persistence for Idiomatic Java

Anway, if you have some specific question, you can also use Zulip: https://hibernate.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/205413-hibernate-reactive-dev.

Thanks and let me know if you have more questions.

[Sanne]

Let's bear in mind that we're going to upgrade Hibernate Reactive to Hibernate ORM v6+ soon (it's currently still based on ORM v5), so I expect the Envers related changes would be very different.

It might be worth finishing the upgrade to 6 first and only then work on Envers integration?

[gavinking]

Agreed.

[DyadkinMaxim]

@Sanne could you say when Hibernate Reactive will be updated to v6?

[DavideD]

We don't have a date yet. I'm working on it

New Year. New need for auditing in Reactive Hibernate (◕ω◕✿)
