java.lang.IllegalStateException: No thread-bound request found + @JaversSpringDataAuditable

Question

I'm getting java.lang.IllegalStateException: No thread-bound request found , when I use Javers Audit feature in my JPA repository class.

@JaversSpringDataAuditable

My service method(create/Update) is defined with @Async and it's handled using Future .

Future<T> updateEmployee(Employee employee) {
    //some code here
    return new AsyncResult<T>(employeeDTO);
}

Am I missing anything here?

Answer 1

Javers is trying to find the author of the modification in the current web request. However, since you seems not to be in the context of a web request this fail.

If you are truly not in a web request, it seems you need to provide another AuthorProvider bean than ServletRequestAuthorProvider (which may be the default).

Answer 2

The answer given by Nyamiou The Galeanthrope is right, but just to clarify:

com.vz.uiam.common.audit.javers.ServletRequestAuthorProvider is definetly not a JaVers class but some implementation of the AuthorProvider interface.

By default (if you are using spring-boot-starter-data-jpa), JaVers gives you SpringSecurityAuthorProvider .
