In my audited entity i have fields:

@LastModifiedBy
private String lastModifiedBy;

@LastModifiedDate
private OffsetDateTime lastModifiedDate;

But they doesn’t change when entity is deleted.
As i understand, i need to customize org.springframework.data.jpa.domain.support.AuditingEntityListener and add @PreRemove there, but i dont understand how to implement this, because i’m always have

org.hibernate.InstantiationException: Could not instantiate managed bean directly

Is there any other options to track delete events and store updated fields to Envers audit table ?

made this workaround:

public class CustomValidityAuditStrategy extends ValidityAuditStrategy {

private final AuditorAware<String> auditorAware = ...;

@Override
public void perform(final Session session, final String entityName, final AuditEntitiesConfiguration audEntitiesCfg, final Serializable id, final Object data, final Object revision) {
    if (data instanceof Map) {
        final Map dataToUpdate = (Map) data;
        dataToUpdate.put("lastModifiedBy", auditorAware.get());
        dataToUpdate.put("lastModifiedDate", OffsetDateTime.now());
    }
    super.perform(session, entityName, audEntitiesCfg, id, data, revision);
}

}
