I need the ability to populate the audit fields of a join table that is used for a many to many relationship between Roles and Permissions. For Role and Permission domain object, I simply followed the AuditInterceptor code that is floating around, and that works great. However, I need to be able to track when a certain Permission was associated to a Role.

role -|--|< role_permission >|--|- permission

I need the audit fields populated on 'role_permission', but I don't have (or want for that matter) a domain object to satisfy the requirements of auditing.

Is there a best practice for this problem? I found one posting on this forum that look promising, but it didn't end with a solution: http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.ph ... manytomany

Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
BCOT.
