Does hibernate have any methods that can help me get back the generated id from auto increment column??

All help appreciated!!

Look here:
public class MySQLDialect {
...
public String getIdentitySelectString() {
return "select last_insert_id()";
}
....
}


If you don't use "assigned" generator, Hibernate should set the generated ID in the object model. As I understand for MySQL "native" generator should use MySQL AUTO_INCREMENT functionality:

session.save(obj);
session.flush();
assert (obj.getId() != null);
