Re: [eclipselink-users] What options do I have for configuring auditing of Entities 
Those are the main event mechanisms.  There is currently no annotations/xml
for DescriptorEvents, you must use a customizer, please log a bug/request
for this.

Other options include performing the auditing logic in your application or
data access layer, or in your database through triggers or database auditing
features.
