update* and findAndModify methods do not update audit fields. [DATAMONGO-869]

[spring-projects-issues]

Poorna Subhash opened DATAMONGO-869 and commented

DATAMONGO-811 addressed the update of @Version field.

But both update* and findAndModify methods lack in updating audit fields @CreatedBy, @LastModifiedBy, @CreatedDate, @LastModifiedDate .

Currently I am using workaround by writing aspects on MongoTemplate methods. Explained here http://poornasubhash.blogspot.in/2013/06/spring-mongodb-auditing-and-extensions.html.

It would be nice if this is included as part of framework.

The problem: MongoTemplate's doFindAndUpdate(..) and doUpdate(..) don't have listeners yet.

Auditing is applied only when working with entities directly via IsNewAwareAuditingHandler and not for query-based/bulk updates. Query-based updates require an association to an entity type, updates using just a collection name cannot participate in auditing updates

My Auditing fields aren't setted even if entity class is passed on method

the updatedAt is setted during document creation, because i call the ReactiveMongoReposiroty method save() but when using reactive mongo template updateFirst or findAndModify with entity class, it doesn't work properly

Spring Boot Version 2.2.6.RELEASE
Spring data mongodb reactive Version: 2.2.6.RELEASE

Is this going to be fixed?
It is very uncomfortable without this feature.

[PixelBumper]

I would love to help fixing this. As far as I have understood some callbacks are missing. Am I on the right track when looking at maybeCallBeforeConvert&maybeCallBeforeSave?

So, what is the workaround ??
In my project, we benefit from the atomicity of the findAndModify operation because converter is not used when inserting a new document.

@LiuFqiang actually, there is no fix/workaround for this, the findAndModify only execute a update operation directly on the database, the only way of benefiting from the Auditing that spring data supports, is by loading every single entity that will be updated on the application, and then persisting them via mongo repo or template, it SHOULD be possible to just add the audited fields on the update as well. like, fisically updating the fields on the query..

@spring-projects-issues can we close this issue?
