My requirement is to update a table's record even though the record is not dirty. Hibernate is by default ignoring update query if all the columns that are passed are same. But I do not want that. Reason being, we have some triggers written on the database insert/update/delete, which needs to know if anyone trying to update any record. This is very critical element of the application and want it in this way.
I am browsing a lot on this, but finding about @DynamicUpdate, but what I want is the reverse of it.
Any help would be really helpful.

If you have a version attribute i.e. annotated with @Version you could use OPTIMISTIC_FORCE_INCREMENT for loading the entity which will always cause a write that increments the version: https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/persistence/LockModeType.html#OPTIMISTIC_FORCE_INCREMENT
You need to use something like session.flush() after each update to force consequent updates perform "real" saving of an entity within same session/transaction. Can't advice more since you haven't provide any code sample.
