Allow having multiple AuditorAware(s) [DATACMNS-894]

[spring-projects-issues]

Andrei Ivanov opened DATACMNS-894 and commented

Trying to use the auditing feature in a multi-module project I've reached a limit.

• module A

public class User implements Serializable {
}
@EntityListeners(AuditingEntityListener.class)
public class Project implements Serializable {
	@CreatedBy
	private User createdBy;
}
public class UserAuditor implements AuditorAware<User> {
}

• module B

public class Person implements Serializable {
}
@EntityListeners(AuditingEntityListener.class)
public class SiteAccessRequest implements Serializable {
	@LastModifiedBy
	private Person managedBy;
}

public class PersonAuditor implements AuditorAware<Person> {
}

The problem seems to be that I can only use only one AuditorAware instance. I think it would be nice to be able to have something like the JpaContext to be able to find the proper auditor for a certain type.

public interface AuditorContext {
    AuditorAware<?> getAuditorAwareByManagedType(Class<?> managedType);
}

Affects: 1.12.2 (Hopper SR2)

bump. This feature would have been really useful in a refactoring task i am currently working on.
