tracking viewership with envers

I need to audit all of the access that users make to a spring mvc web app using hibernate. This includes auditing every time a user views data from an object, even if the user does not make any changes to the object.

I have been researching hibernate envers as a potential tool for managing all of the auditing. I notice that envers tracks all modifications to each of the objects in an application. This is part of what I need. But I cannot find any documentation or tutorials about how to extend envers so that I can track viewership of objects in addition to just tracking modifications to objects.

Can anyone explain how I might track viewership of objects in a hibernate / spring application? Either by extending Envers or by some other tool?

As for Envers, it's not really a tool for such kind of auditing. I think you might be better off by simple inserting an "event-entity" on every user action.

Envers is focused on auditing changes done to entities.
