how to do this

class SomeClass {

Integer Object object1;

private Collection collection;

}


all objects in collection can be persisted with hibernate. all objects in collection have an id property, which refers to object1's id.

I need to save both object1 and collection; the problem is:

how to should I tell to hibernate, to assign an id to object1, so I can set this id for each element of the collection?

sorry, there is a mistake:

integer Object object1
should be private Object object1
