Hi,

This may be a stupid question, but I would like to create a new sequence and and tie it to a field that is not @Id, so that the value is auto-incremented for each new stored instance.

Is this possible, and if it is, how do I define it with Java annotations?

Thanks!

I have the same problem, anyone?

Hi,

I don't know if we can have non-id column values being mapped to a sequence through Hibernate.

But, if the need is just to get that behaviour, you can try this.
( just a hack. unaware of pitfalls, if any )

public class MyModel {
...
Integer id ;
Integer dummy ;
....
public Integer getDummy() {
return id ;
}
}

and then map id to a sequnce. ( normal way )

Thanks for the reply! The problem is getting both id and dummy to be generated by different sequence generators...
