Javers by default creates a commit doing a deep traverse of the object to log. When you have very complex objects, with inherited properties from parent classes etc, it can be a pain to have to go through the whole graph and annotate each property you don't want logged.
Is there a way to specify by default that Javers should do a shallow traverse and only specify the specific properties that we want included in the commit? Or is there an annotation that we can apply to the class to say that for that class Javers should shallow log it? @ShallowReference doesn't do that it seems.
E.g. for an object like:
User
Long id
String username
Person person
String firstName
String lastName
I want either an annotation that I can apply to the User class, or some global setting so that when I do javers.commit("admin", user) Javers logs only id and username.
There is no such annotation. All you can do in this case is to ignore person property or Person class using @DiffIgnore.
Think about contribution, this annotation could be named @Shallow.
