After another day of searching and a new set of eyes, I found the answer: Googled: and found this: https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=959631&start=0

The save method in the current documentation (http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/core/reference/en/html/objectstate-makingpersistent.html) describes the Deprecated Session.save method that is now in the org.hibernate.classic package.

I found the link here in the forum that suggests using session.replicate when all the fields are set with known values to insert.

See here for details.

Original Post Below:
To All:

I am looking for a way to override the sequence generator on a session.save()

I want to be able to assign an id (like the default assigned strategy) sometimes, and have the sequence assign the id at other times.

Is this possible?

I see the method declaration in the documentation is different from what is described in this post:


Is the entityName the property of the id?
Will it use the value of that property in object?

I'm trying to provide a primary key instead of having the generated one saved (in this case generated from a trigger)

Can the generator be overridden?

Thanks.
