Hi,

I want to generate a guid for a non primary key field. Is it possible? i am using reverse engineering from Hibernate tools. Inorder to do it do i need to modify my mapping file and entity classes.

My Entity class:

public String getGuid() {
return this.guid;
}

public void setGuid(String guid) {
this.guid = guid;
}

My mapping:

<property generated="never" lazy="false" name="guid" type="string">
<column length="36" name="Guid" not-null="true"/>
</property>



Could I use a generator class here to generate it automatically even if it is not a primary key column?
