We are introducing Hibernate Envers in our application.
Now, we want to store an initial revision of all out audited entities in the audit-tables. I thought I just could save the entities once via JPA, but Envers checks for modifications and does not save a new version.
I don’t want to make any arbitrary changes.
Is there a recommended way to create an initial version of all audited entities? Or force Envers to save a version even if there are no changes? Or something similar?
Or is SQL the only (and recommended?) way to do this?
