Hi,

I need to used unique identifiers generation for a key-property part of a composite id.
Unfortunatly there is no <generator> child element for <key-property> nor <composite-id> elements.

But anyway, is it possible to use hibernate unique id generation algorithms to generate a part of the composite id.

Thanks for your help.

wouldn't that unique key be your primary key?

I think if you need a unique key, then you should make that the primary key and use a unique constraint to make sure you don't have the duplicate combination...

but it seems like there is some meat in this line in the documentation:

May be the following from the wiki is something for you:

I think by using a CompositeUserType you sould be able to generate what ever id you want to have.
