Spring Boot 3.2.x with @Audited annotation is causing Hibernate error at application startup

[dietzsch]

Hello,

we recently updated from Spring Boot 3.1.x to 3.2.x. In parallel we are using @Audited and have a dependency:

org.hibernate.orm:hibernate-envers

After the update to the new Spring Boot version we see the following error at startup of the application:

o.h.metamodel.internal.MetadataContext : HHH015007: Illegal argument on static metamodel field injection : org.hibernate.envers.DefaultRevisionEntity_#class_; expected type : org.hibernate.metamodel.model.domain.internal.EntityTypeImpl; encountered type : jakarta.persistence.metamodel.MappedSuperclassType

which seems to be related to the envers dependency. There is also already a thread on Stackoverflow that is discussing this issue:

FTR: Upgrading https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-examples/blob/main/jpa/envers/pom.xml to Hibernate 6.4.1 should also reproduce the failure.

Hi @mp911de I used the code from the docs and created a minimal project where you can see the error when running the test. Repo: https://github.com/dietzsch/issue-3381

PS: I used the current Spring Boot 3.2.3 version with Hibernate 6.4.4.Final

org.hibernate.metamodel.model.domain.internal.EntityTypeImpl does not jakarta.persistence.metamodel.MappedSuperclassType. This is a Hibernate issue that I can reproduce with the plain Hibernate reproducer testcase by just adding Hibernate envers.
