I have searched through the FAQ's but have not found anything
matching this so I'm hoping someone can help.

We are creating a web application that uses the Springs hibernateTemplate
to tell Hibernate 3 to save objects to our MySQL 5 database.

The table we are saving to in the database has an autoincrement
id field that is the primary key.

The object that we are saving has 0 in the id field till it has been saved, yet
the save method does not return the id or the object just insert
(containing the MySQL generated id).

Is there any way hibernate can get me the id of the object just added.

Session.save(Object o)

Session.save returns the persistent instance's identifier

CollinL,
thanks for your reply.

I've cracked the problem: my DAOHibernate save method was void. I'm going to make a simple change so that it returns the id of the row just inserted.

Cheers anyway,
James.
