[eclipselink-users] forcing an update in a column

["Cronemberger, Constantino" <Constantino.Cronemberger@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,



I am using Oracle's audit logging mechanism where it generates a log of all update/delete operations executed.



The problem is that if the field "user_id" is not updated then EclipseLink does not put a "set user_id = ?" in the generated SQL and at the end the user id of the user who did that update will not appear in the corresponding line in the audit log.



Is there a way to force EclipseLink to generate an update for a field that was not in fact update?



Thanks,

   Constantino.
