Envers looks at @MappedSuperclass ClassInfo to see if it has any attributes
that are audited. If it finds one, then Envers has to find the corresponding
AttributeBinding in the EntityBinding to get it's access type, column names,
etc.
I don't think it really requires a MappedSuperclassBinding, but tweaking the
domain model would help.
I think adding a method like this will provide enough information:
javax.persistence.metamodel.Attribute.getDeclaringType() returning
ManagedType<X>
Currently domain model has:
org.hibernate.metamodel.spi.domain.Attribute.getAttributeContainer()
returning AttributeContainer
I think adding the following would work for Envers:
org.hibernate.metamodel.spi.domain.Attribute.getDeclaringAttributeContainer()
returning AttributeContainer
At least that's what I see so far...
