Hi,
I have a table with primary key which is a string.
How should mapping for such id look like?

<id name="name" column="name" type="string">
</id>

Is this enough or the id element should have
<generator class="assigned"/>?
If so what does it mean that id is assigned, hibernate won`t insert id when creating a new object or maybe it won`t insert it to join table fk column and i have to do it my self?


Any help will be appreciated

Yes, mapping looks like that, and generator should be assigned - that means it's up to you to assign the primary key BEFORE you save your new object.
