I'm not sure what message Pinaki is replying to, but I would urge 
caution when using the OpenJPA audit at the moment:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2253

This causes a memory leak of every auditable object, which will eventually kill any process.
We've had to remove all @Auditable annotations for the time being.
