Hi,
I'm trying to map a class called User to a table of the same name whose primary key is an integer but is NOT auto-increment.
The examples of mapping files I have seen propose the following kind of definition:

<id name="id"column="user_id"type="long"unsaved-value="null">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>

But I suppose this only applies to auto-increment fields.
What do I need to specify instead of <generator class="native"/> for a non-autoincrement field?
Thanks very much.

HI jkala...

If you need to assign the identifier yourself in your application, then use the assigned generator. You set
the identifier using the set<identifier> method of the Java class. The application assumes the
responsibility of making sure the id value is unique; otherwise, you’ll probably get a database insert exception.

So....

<id name="id"column="user_id"type="long"unsaved-value="null">
<generator class="assigned"/>
</id>

bye.tc.

Thanks a lot!
