Envers, not inserting deletes in history tables for orphan deletes

Question

We are using NHibernate and Envers. Everything works fine, but envers is not inserting audits for deleting orphans.

Inverse().Cascade.AllDeleteOrphan()

Where can I find a good envers documentation for nhibernate? Is it possible at all so that evers is doing delete entries in history tables for deleting an orphan?

...
entity.SomeCollection.Clear(); //Orphans will be deleted because cascade is AllDeleteOrphan.
tx.commit();

Best regards!

Answer 1

Yep, found the answer myself. Envers is doing inserts for orphan deletes:

ISession session = sessionFactory.OpenSession();
ITransaction tx = session.BeginTransaction();

MyItem item = session.Get<MyItem>(44); //Item enthält ein Tag.

item.Tags.Clear();

tx.Commit(); 

session.Close();

But only if the relation end is not declared inverse.

    HasManyToMany(x => x.Items)
        .Table("MyItem_MyTag")
        .ParentKeyColumn("MyTagID")
        .ChildKeyColumn("MyItemID")
        .Cascade.All()
        .Inverse().LazyLoad();

If you want an entry non the less, then add:

nhibernate.envers.revision_on_collection_change
