This talk was given by Adam Warski. He is the creator of Envers, a framework that provides entity versioning for hibernate. It does this by creating additional auditing tables and inserting data to them on update/insert and delete. This creates global revisions, similar to the way it is done in Subversion. In order to activate versioning for a class, the @Versioned annotation is used. User information is not automatically stored with the revisions but can be added by implementing a custom RevisionListener.

Envers is now a hibernate core module and will be included in the next release of hibernate.

Here is a link to the current version of Envers
