Spring-Data JPA and Audit updated by @Modifying

Question

It is possible to audit an update operation with Spring-Data Auditing using the update via annotations @Query and @Modifying instead of using the method save()?

Answer 1

@Query and @Modifying has nothing to do with Audit. They are annotations that inform Spring Data when a method is just a query, or when that method makes modifications such as Insert or update.

To work with Spring audit, use Aspectj to intercept what you want to audit. With this api, you can use annotations like @Before, @After, @AfterReturning, @Around to meet what you need. More information on how to do this you find here more detailed information can be found on the spring reference.
