I use an Oracle trigger to insert the primary key in my tables.
Since Hibernate seems not to offer a generator that accomplishs that task, I'm thinking of writing my own generator that after the insert-statement reads the last generated primary key (I do not want to use a Oracle sequence directly in Hibernate).

Has anybody done something like that? How can I do it? Is there some documentation available?

I thougth of passing the column name of the PK as a parameter to the Generator (in the mapping file). So I suppose I have to implement Configurable and IdentifierGenerator.

Is there anything else I have to implement or extend (e.g. the IdentityGenerator)?


Thanks!
