Envers throws MappingException: Type not supported for auditing

[msdousti]

Synopsis

ImmutableType and its descendants like PostgreSQLHStoreType are not compatible with Envers.
For instance, consider the following @Audited Entity:

import com.vladmihalcea.hibernate.type.basic.PostgreSQLHStoreType;

// ...
@Entity
@TypeDef(name = "PostgreSQLHStoreType", typeClass = PostgreSQLHStoreType.class)
@Audited
public class Post {
    @Id
    private Long id;

    @Type(type = "PostgreSQLHStoreType")
    @Column(columnDefinition = "hstore")
    private Map<String, String> translations;

    // ...
}

It will cause an

org.hibernate.MappingException: Type not supported for auditing: com.vladmihalcea.hibernate.type.basic.PostgreSQLHStoreType

exception upon building the session factory.

Test

A full-fledged test along with explanations can be found here.

Fix

ImmutableType can be modified to implement BasicType instead of Type, as explained here.

Suggestion

I can open a PR for applying the above change.

Looking forward to your Pull Request that fixes this issue

[msdousti]

Thanks a lot for considering my suggestion. I created #464 for hibernate-types-55. If the changes there are OK, I'll replicate them to other hibernate-types-* modules in the same PR.

Incidentally, I noted that the PR also fixes this:

I'll integrate it after I apply the same login to the new ImmutableCompositeType

Fixed.
