hi, i want to use a generator, that allready exists in my database. i defined the id in the maping document as sequence:






but everytime I start my project, hibernate tries to generate exactly this generator (but it cannot because I am using Firebird, I know the problems with metadata-update).



why does Hibernate cannot find the existing generator "GEN_PERSON_ID" and wants to create a new one? did I make a mistake?

I think what you're looking for is "native"

I'm also using Firebird 1.5 and I've got no problems with sequences. I've got for example this mapping.


Are you using the correct dialect (FirebidDialect or InterbaseDialect)?

hi garyfisher,

there is no difference between my example and yours. the dialect I am using is correct. hibernate runs without any problem (when i insert an object the generator will be called), but each time I start the application the error posted above is displayed. There is no problem in using the sequence, but the error doesn't look very fine;)

The difference is the type attribute but I dont know if this matter

sorry about that, I didn't read properly

the result (or the error) is the same when i replace "int" with "integer".

*push*

has nobody an idee how to avoid this errors?
