I have studied for hours the code about auditing services in alfresco (org.alfresco.repo.audit and its subpackages) but I still don't understand where exactly in the code it is sp

No, the information in the audit tables are the one defined in auditConfig.xml, as exepcted. I was trying to catch the audit states before they go into db, but I had actually added my code at the wrong place. Now, it is in the auditImpl method of AuditComponentImpl and it works fine, thanks

But there are other points that I may have not understood well about auditing the repository services:
- I have read that the "auditInternal" attrubute is not yet used (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Audit), but I don't understand what this attribute is intended to…
- Could you also explain me the difference between AuditInfo and AuditState? I am a bit confused that a variable "auditInfo" is sometimes declared as an AuditState.

Thanks,
