Using a Generator independently of later insertion

Hello *

I have to implement the following program logic:

Code:

    final Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
    session.beginTransaction();

    txid = /* get new unique id from Hibernate */

    resp = sendSoapRequest(txid, ....);
    processSoapResponse(resp);

    Tx aTx = new Tx();
    aTx.setId(txid);
    ...

    session.save(aTx);
    session.getTransaction().commit();

Now, my question is: do I have to implement this get new unique id from Hibernate by myself or can I make use of the Hibernate key generators?

Thanks for help!
