Description

From the mailing list:

Hi all,

I recently stumbled over the auditing capabilities of DeltaSpike Data
module. I like them a lot, but I noticed that there is @CreatedOn and
@ModifiedOn for the timestamps, but only @ModifiedBy. I noticed, that
@ModifiedBy is set on creation (differently to @ModifiedOn), but it is
not preserved on updates (obviously).

I would like to have @CreatedBy as well - analog to how the 2 timestamp
annotations work. That includes adding a setOnCreate property to
@ModifiedBy.

I'm happy to work on a patch for this, but before that I'd like to put
up for discussion the following:

• @ModifiedOn is (by default) not set on creation, @ModifiedBy is. So to
  preserve backwards compatibility the 2 would have different default
  behavior.

Any thoughts on that?

Cheers,

Juri
