Hibernate version:Hibernate 2.1.8
Name and version of the database you are using:SQL Server 2000

I used mssql jdbc driver in my application and I had problems when selecting columns of type text. After a little searching I found that is a known problem with this microsoft driver and I changed it with jtds driver.
Now the problem is that it seems to have a problem with the column of a table that its generator class is identity. The error I get is:
Mapping ExceptionDialect does not support identity key generation.
When I debug the source the object that is eing created instead of getting an autoincrement value is set to zero (0).

Does anybody knows about this problem
Regards

Which Dialect did you put in your hibernate configuration file?
