History with JPA

Question

I need to keep change of entities in a little bit tricky fashion. There is one HISTORY table for all entities with structure something like this TABLE ATTR VALUE DATE TYPE(insert/update/delete)

As I am quite novice in JPA I don't realize how to achive this using JPA. Or it's better to use JDBC for this purpose?

UPD: JPA implementation is EclipseLink

Answer 1

JPA itself does not have a solution for this, so you have to use implementation specific solutions.

For your implementation, try this and check this.
