Class AuditingEntityListener

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.data.jpa.domain.support.AuditingEntityListener

@Configurable
public class AuditingEntityListener
extends Object

JPA entity listener to capture auditing information on persisting and updating entities. To get this one flying be sure you configure it as entity listener in your orm.xml as follows:

 <persistence-unit-metadata>
     <persistence-unit-defaults>
         <entity-listeners>
             <entity-listener class="org.springframework.data.jpa.domain.support.AuditingEntityListener" />
         </entity-listeners>
     </persistence-unit-defaults>
 </persistence-unit-metadata>
 

After that it's just a matter of activating auditing in your Spring config:

 @Configuration
 @EnableJpaAuditing
 class ApplicationConfig {

 }
 

 <jpa:auditing auditor-aware-ref="yourAuditorAwarebean" />
