Generating automatic audit information with Castle ActiveRecord.

Introduction

This article describes how to generate automatic audit information when using Castle ActiveRecord.

Background

First you need to create this table (or any you want):

SQL
CREATE TABLE auditoria
(
  id_auditoria bigint NOT NULL,
  fecha_hora timestamp without time zone NOT NULL,
  id_usuario integer NOT NULL,
  ip character varying(50) NOT NULL,
  tabla character varying(300),
  campo_pk character varying(300),
  id bigint,
  operacion character(1),
  observaciones character varying(500),
  CONSTRAINT auditoria_pkey1 PRIMARY KEY (id_auditoria ),
  CONSTRAINT auditoria_id_usuario_fkey1 FOREIGN KEY (id_usuario)
  REFERENCES usuarios (id_usuario) MATCH SIMPLE
ON UPDATE RESTRICT ON DELETE RESTRICT
)

In this table we will save all audit information.

Using the code

You need to extend ActiveRecordBase and override the following methods:

C#
public class NFActiveRecord<T> : ActiveRecordBase<T>
{
    public override void Save()
    {
        int? id = null;
        string campoPK = "";

        GetID(this.GetType(), ref id, ref campoPK);
        bool esAlta = id == null;

        base.Save();

        Auditoria auditoria = new Auditoria();

        GetID(this.GetType(), ref id, ref campoPK);
        auditoria.CampoPK = campoPK;
        auditoria.FechaHora = DateTime.Now;
        auditoria.Id = id;
        auditoria.IdUsuario = Seguridad.Usuario.IdUsuario;
        auditoria.IP = Seguridad.IPUsuario;
        auditoria.Operacion = esAlta? "A" : "M";
        auditoria.Tabla = GetTable(this.GetType());
        auditoria.Save();
    }

    public override void SaveAndFlush()
    {
        int? id = null;
        string campoPK = "";

        GetID(this.GetType(), ref id, ref campoPK);
        bool esAlta = id == null;

        base.SaveAndFlush();

        Auditoria auditoria = new Auditoria();

        GetID(this.GetType(), ref id, ref campoPK);
        auditoria.CampoPK = campoPK;
        auditoria.FechaHora = DateTime.Now;
        auditoria.Id = id;
        auditoria.IdUsuario = Seguridad.Usuario.IdUsuario;
        auditoria.IP = Seguridad.IPUsuario;
        auditoria.Operacion = esAlta ? "A" : "M";
        auditoria.Tabla = GetTable(this.GetType());
        auditoria.Save();
    }

    public override void Update()
    {
        base.Update();

        Auditoria auditoria = new Auditoria();
        int? id = null;
        string campoPK = "";

        GetID(this.GetType(), ref id, ref campoPK);
        auditoria.CampoPK = campoPK;
        auditoria.FechaHora = DateTime.Now;
        auditoria.Id = id;
        auditoria.IdUsuario = Seguridad.Usuario.IdUsuario;
        auditoria.IP = Seguridad.IPUsuario;
        auditoria.Operacion = "M";
        auditoria.Tabla = GetTable(this.GetType());
        auditoria.Save();
    }

    public override void UpdateAndFlush()
    {
        base.UpdateAndFlush();

        Auditoria auditoria = new Auditoria();
        int? id = null;
        string campoPK = "";

        GetID(this.GetType(), ref id, ref campoPK);
        auditoria.CampoPK = campoPK;
        auditoria.FechaHora = DateTime.Now;
        auditoria.Id = id;
        auditoria.IdUsuario = Seguridad.Usuario.IdUsuario;
        auditoria.IP = Seguridad.IPUsuario;
        auditoria.Operacion = "M";
        auditoria.Tabla = GetTable(this.GetType());
        auditoria.Save();
    }

    public override void Create()
    {
        base.Create();

        Auditoria auditoria = new Auditoria();
        int? id = null;
        string campoPK = "";

        GetID(this.GetType(), ref id, ref campoPK);
        auditoria.CampoPK = campoPK;
        auditoria.FechaHora = DateTime.Now;
        auditoria.Id = id;
        auditoria.IdUsuario = Seguridad.Usuario.IdUsuario;
        auditoria.IP = Seguridad.IPUsuario;
        auditoria.Operacion = "A";
        auditoria.Tabla = GetTable(this.GetType());
        auditoria.Save();
    }

    public override void CreateAndFlush()
    {
        base.CreateAndFlush();

        Auditoria auditoria = new Auditoria();
        int? id = null;
        string campoPK = "";

        GetID(this.GetType(), ref id, ref campoPK);
        auditoria.CampoPK = campoPK;
        auditoria.FechaHora = DateTime.Now;
        auditoria.Id = id;
        auditoria.IdUsuario = Seguridad.Usuario.IdUsuario;
        auditoria.IP = Seguridad.IPUsuario;
        auditoria.Operacion = "A";
        auditoria.Tabla = GetTable(this.GetType());
        auditoria.Save();
    }

    public override void Delete()
    {
        base.Delete();

        Auditoria auditoria = new Auditoria();
        int? id = null;
        string campoPK = "";

        GetID(this.GetType(), ref id, ref campoPK);
        auditoria.CampoPK = campoPK;
        auditoria.FechaHora = DateTime.Now;
        auditoria.Id = id;
        auditoria.IdUsuario = Seguridad.Usuario.IdUsuario;
        auditoria.IP = Seguridad.IPUsuario;
        auditoria.Operacion = "B";
        auditoria.Tabla = GetTable(this.GetType());
        auditoria.Save();
    }

    public override void DeleteAndFlush()
    {
        base.DeleteAndFlush();

        Auditoria auditoria = new Auditoria();
        int? id = null;
        string campoPK = "";

        GetID(this.GetType(), ref id, ref campoPK);
        auditoria.CampoPK = campoPK;
        auditoria.FechaHora = DateTime.Now;
        auditoria.Id = id;
        auditoria.IdUsuario = Seguridad.Usuario.IdUsuario;
        auditoria.IP = Seguridad.IPUsuario;
        auditoria.Operacion = "B";
        auditoria.Tabla = GetTable(this.GetType());
        auditoria.Save();
    }

    private string GetTable(Type type)
    {
        object[] tables = type.GetCustomAttributes(true);

        if (tables.Length == 1)
            return (tables[0] as ActiveRecordAttribute).Table;
        else
            return null;
    }

    private void GetID(Type type, ref int? id, ref string campo)
    {
        PropertyInfo[] properties = type.GetProperties();
        object[] keys;

        id = null;
        campo = "";
        foreach (PropertyInfo p in properties)
        {
            keys = p.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(PrimaryKeyAttribute), true);

            if (keys != null && keys.Length > 0)
            {
                campo = (keys[0] as PrimaryKeyAttribute).Column;
                if (p.GetValue(this, null) != null)
                    id = (int)p.GetValue(this, null);

                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

You also need this class:

C#
[ActiveRecord("auditoria", Lazy = true)]
public class Auditoria : ActiveRecordBase<Auditoria>
{
    [PrimaryKey("id_auditoria", SequenceName = "auditoria_id_auditoria_seq")]
    public virtual long? IdAuditoria { get; set; }

    [Property("fecha_hora")]
    public virtual DateTime? FechaHora { get; set; }

    [Property("id_usuario")]
    public virtual int? IdUsuario { get; set; }

    [Property("ip")]
    public virtual string IP { get; set; }

    [Property("tabla")]
    public virtual string Tabla { get; set; }

    [Property("campo_pk")]
    public virtual string CampoPK { get; set; }

    [Property("id")]
    public virtual long? Id { get; set; }

    [Property("operacion")]
    public virtual string Operacion { get; set; }

    [Property("observaciones")]
    public virtual string Observaciones { get; set; }
}

And when you create an ActiveRecord class (except the Auditory one), you need to use the extended class NFActiveRecord (or the name you choose).

C#
[ActiveRecord("turnos", Lazy = true)]
public class Turno : NFActiveRecord<Turno>
{
    [PrimaryKey("id_turno", SequenceName = "turnos_id_turno_seq")]
    public virtual int? IdTurno { get; set; }

    [BelongsTo("id_usuario")]
    public virtual Usuario Usuario { get; set; }

    [BelongsTo("id_paciente")]
    public virtual Paciente Paciente { get; set; }

    [BelongsTo("id_lugar_atencion")]
    public virtual LugarAtencion LugarAtencion { get; set; }

    [Property("hora_comienzo")]
    public virtual DateTime? HoraComienzo { get; set; }

    [Property("hora_fin")]
    public virtual DateTime? HoraFin { get; set; }

    [Property("comentario", ColumnType = "StringClob")]
    public virtual string Comentario { get; set; }
}

With this workaround, we will able to generate audit information when any class performs a Create, Update, Save, or Delete.
