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" />
