Hello,

I build a webapplication using eclipselink with JPA running in a tomcat.
I build some simple audition that records the creator, change person and some timestamps. All in all my solution uses PersistenceListener and SessionEventListener like shown in this example:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/Auditing#Example_AuditedObject_class

My Problem is, that sometimes the threadLocal.get() for the username is null.
Where is the best place to fill it?

I also tried to set additional properties when creation the entitymanager like this:

 EntityManagerFactory factory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("p1");
        emProperties.put("eclipselink.tenant-id", mandator);
        emProperties.put("username", username);
        emProperties.put("mandator", mandator);
        entityManger =factory.createEntityManager(emProperties);
        ((EntityManagerImpl)entityManger.getDelegate()).getUnitOfWork().setProperty("username", username);
        ((EntityManagerImpl)entityManger.getDelegate()).getUnitOfWork().setProperty("mandator", mandator);
        ((EntityManagerImpl)entityManger.getDelegate()).getSession().setProperty("username", username);
        ((EntityManagerImpl)entityManger.getDelegate()).getSession().setProperty("mandator", mandator);
        ((EntityManagerImpl)entityManger.getDelegate()).getServerSession().setProperty("username", username);
        ((EntityManagerImpl)entityManger.getDelegate()).getServerSession().setProperty("mandator", mandator);

and tried to read them in the EntityListener and SessionListener like this:

public class PersistenceListener implements SessionCustomizer {

	public PersistenceListener() {

	}

	private static InheritableThreadLocal<TransactionInfo> info = new InheritableThreadLocal<TransactionInfo>();

	public static InheritableThreadLocal<TransactionInfo> getInfo() {
		return info;
	}

	public static void setInfo(InheritableThreadLocal<TransactionInfo> info) {
		PersistenceListener.info = info;
	}

	@PreUpdate
	void onPreUpdate(DBObject object) {
		object.setChangeDate(info.get().getTransactionTime());
		object.setChangePerson(info.get().getUsername());

	}

	@PrePersist
	void onPrePersist(DBObject object) {
		object.setChangeDate(info.get().getTransactionTime());
		object.setChangePerson(info.get().getUsername());
		object.setCreationDate(info.get().getTransactionTime());
		object.setCreationPerson(info.get().getUsername());
		object.setMandator(info.get().getMandator());
	}

	@PostPersist
	void onPostPersist(DBObject object) {
	}

	@PostLoad
	void onPostLoad(DBObject object) {
	}

	@PostUpdate
	void onPostUpdate(DBObject object) {
		object.setChangeDate(info.get().getTransactionTime());
		object.setChangePerson(info.get().getUsername());
		object.setCreationDate(info.get().getTransactionTime());
		object.setCreationPerson(info.get().getUsername());
	}

	@PreRemove
	void onPreRemove(DBObject object) {
	}

	@PostRemove
	void onPostRemove(DBObject object) {
	}

	private void createTransactionInfo(SessionEvent arg0) {
		

	}

	@Override
	public void customize(Session arg0) throws Exception {
		String username = null;
		String mandator = null;
		if (ClientSession.class.isAssignableFrom(arg0.getClass())) {
			username = (String) ((ClientSession) arg0).getProperty("username");
			mandator = (String) ((ClientSession) arg0).getProperty("mandator");
		}
		else if (ServerSession.class.isAssignableFrom(arg0.getClass())) {
			username = (String) ((ServerSession) arg0).getProperty("username");
			mandator = (String) ((ServerSession) arg0).getProperty("mandator");
		}
		if (getInfo().get() == null && (username == null || mandator == null)){
			throw new RuntimeException("Something wicked happened in auditing!");
		}
		getInfo().set(new TransactionInfo(username, Calendar.getInstance(), mandator));
		
	}
}


But in the ServerSession the properties are null.

I guess there must be simple solution to pass the user who created the entitymanager instance to the EntityListenr / SessionCustomizer.

In Hibernate I would add an Interceptor to the session created by the SessionFactory holding this data.

I'd be very happy about some hints...no ideas left so far.

Thank you

Sorry for unformatted code in my post before.

Well, I now wrote a wrapper class around the entitymanger with has a persist(DBObject object); Method that writes the auditing information to a threadlocal located in the class DBObject, which is a superclass of all entitites. This seems to work.

Anyway I would be glad if someone did this similar and has good experiences.
