Auditing

In order to activate auditing, add @EnableJdbcAuditing to your configuration, as the following example shows:

Activating auditing with Java configuration

@Configuration
@EnableJdbcAuditing
class Config {

  @Bean
  AuditorAware<AuditableUser> auditorProvider() {
    return new AuditorAwareImpl();
  }
}

If you expose a bean of type AuditorAware to the ApplicationContext, the auditing infrastructure automatically picks it up and uses it to determine the current user to be set on domain types. If you have multiple implementations registered in the ApplicationContext, you can select the one to be used by explicitly setting the auditorAwareRef attribute of @EnableJdbcAuditing.
