How to delete entries from my audit table?

Question

I am currently working with Hibernate Envers.

How to delete entries in the audit table related to the entity I want to delete? My entity has no relation with other entities.

I figured out that I have to do that in onPostDelete method of my custom listener:

import org.hibernate.envers.event.AuditEventListener;
import org.hibernate.event.PostCollectionRecreateEvent;
import org.hibernate.event.PostDeleteEvent;
import org.hibernate.event.PostInsertEvent;
import org.hibernate.event.PostUpdateEvent;
import org.hibernate.event.PreCollectionRemoveEvent;
import org.hibernate.event.PreCollectionUpdateEvent;

public class MyListener extends AuditEventListener {

  ...
  @Override
  public void onPostDelete(PostDeleteEvent arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onPostDelete(arg0);
  }
  ...

}

I've read the documentation, forums, many things but I can't figure it out. Maybe it's not possible, I don't know.

Has someone ever done this before?

Answer 1

Ok I'm 50% done with this for those who want to know.

Thanks to the creator of Hibernate Envers, Adam Warski, I quote:

"id" is a hibernate keyword for the id of an entity, whatever the names is; in case of audit entities, the id is composite and is called "originalId". Try:

"delete from full.package.name.User_AUD u where u.originalId.id = :userid" 

But now, I also would like to delete entries related to audit table in my revinfo table.

If someone has a clue, let me know.
