I have 3 ways things get written to the DB
public void create(T object) {
entityManager.persist(object);
}

public void update(T object) {
object = entityManager.merge(object);
}

public int updateStatus(String id, String status) {

final int changes =
entityManager.createQuery("update item set state = :newState," +
" last_modified = current_timestamp" +
" where id = : id ")
.setParameter("newState", status)
.setParameter("id", id)
.executeUpdate();

return changes;
}
The problem I have, is in order to get the Hibernate Envers to actually write the audit records to the corrsponsing x_aud and revinfo DB tables. It only works successfully for '.persist()' or '.merge()'. I cannot get it to work for 'createQuery(...).executeUpdate()'

Am I missing something or does it just not work for this. The problem is, a lot of my code has been written using .executeUpdate and not merge, so really I need this to work with the existing code.

Can anyone help please?
