using hibernate envers with unique table

Question

I am starting a Java project with Hibernate and found interesting the way the Envers work, but I wonder if you can only have a table to store all changes to the system? I do not know if I'm asking something impossible.

What I need are columns: user, action (insert / update ...), table name and field changed.

I do not know if this can be done with Envers or if there is another way.

Any answer is welcome! Thank you

What you described isn't possible with Envers; however, you can write your own Hibernate Listener implementations to accomplish such a task easily and integrate that directly.
