[FIXED] Hibernate envers does not recognize PostgreSQLInetType type from hibernate-types-52

Issue

Hibernate envers not able to recognize custom types created using @TypeDef annotations from hibernate-types library.

I have an entity, that uses custom type PostgreSQLInetType.class:

@Entity
@Table(name = "my_acl")
@TypeDef(typeClass = PostgreSQLInetType.class, defaultForType = Inet.class)
@Audited
public class MyAcl {

  Inet acl;

//other fields, getters\setters etc.



}

But during my SpringBoot application start, I'm getting the following exception:

Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: Type not supported for auditing: com.vladmihalcea.hibernate.type.basic.PostgreSQLInetType, on entity org.acme.MyAcl, property 'acl'.

Is there any way to fix this or tell Envers how to map PostgreSQLInetType?

Solution

To be usable by Envers, the type would have to implement the org.hibernate.type.BasicType interface.
