jEAP Audit

jEAP Audit is a library for the standardized creation and delivery of audit records in Spring Boot services built on the jEAP framework. Distributed government systems need comprehensive audit trails for compliance, security and operational transparency, and jEAP Audit provides the building blocks to produce them consistently across microservices. It offers:

• A fluent builder (CreateAuditRecordCommandBuilder) for the Avro CreateAuditRecordCommand
• A Spring-managed factory (CreateAuditRecordCommandBuilderFactory) that fills the trigger from the jEAP security token (user) or from a consumed message (system)
• Reliable, at-least-once delivery of audit commands through the jeap-messaging-outbox transactional outbox
• Consumer support that converts a received CreateAuditRecordCommand into a plain Java AuditRecord model for downstream processing and centralized audit-log aggregation

The audit command is an Avro message type (create-audit-record-command) sent over Kafka. jEAP Audit builds on jeap-messaging for serialization, contracts and delivery.

Modules

Group id for all modules is ch.admin.bit.jeap; the version is managed by the jEAP Spring Boot parent. A consuming service depends on the module(s) matching its use case.

Module	Purpose
jeap-audit-command-builder	Fluent CreateAuditRecordCommandBuilder and Spring CreateAuditRecordCommandBuilderFactory
jeap-spring-boot-audit-starter-transactional-outbox	Spring Boot starter registering CreateAuditRecordCommandTransactionOutboxSender to send via the outbox
jeap-audit-command-consumer	AuditRecordFactory converting a CreateAuditRecordCommand into the plain AuditRecord model
jeap-audit-command-builder-nojeapsecurity-test	Internal test module verifying the builder works without jEAP security on the classpath
