How to create Audit Log Trail in Hibernate?

Question

Following is Table Structure:

id | createdby | createddate | tablename | columnname | primaryid | oldavalue | newvalue | remarks

we get delimited file in which we have some values to update in 4 tables. Four tables have 10 Columns each. We do not know what to update. So we just update whole row against one Primary ID.

Now Challenges here are:

1. How to get Table Name, Column Name in Hibernate?

2. How to fetch Old Value; during an update? How to know which field we are updating has old value and we are now inserting new value? (We don't compared fields yet)

Answer 1

You can Implement EmptyInterceptor of Hibernate. In methods of EmptyInterceptor you are able to find the field name, previous value and current value.

Answer 2

My favorite tool for this is Hibernate Envers . You just annotate your entities as @Audited and envers takes care of the interceptors.

Answer 3

您还可以通过在执行操作之前和之后编写spring方面来使用Spring AOP，该方面将在审计表中插入数据
