Hi there,
I've not been able to find anything on this, so I thought it might be an idea to ask for help on a strategy on the Hibernate forums.

The problem we have is a relatively simple one at first glance: we need to take an object which exists in one database and copy it to another database whilst retaining the all fields within the object, including the id.

So, in one database we would have the object being initially persisted, and soon after a process connects to the this database, and obtains a copy of the object - which it then has to persist in another database. How do we go about telling Hibernate that in one instance we need it to assign an id, whilst in another we need it to preseve the id in memory? [Assuming the same mapping for both instances]
