Hallo!

I have the following problem:

I load an object from the database. If I save the same object (never mind if I change attributes or not) I want hibernate to increase the id, i.e. hibernate should put a new object in the database and not just the same!

how can i realize that?

Thank you very much!

That's a requirement a little off what one usually would like things to behave.

If you want the new object (with an increased ID), why not just create a new object which you
give excactly the same values as the existing one has? Then, if you'r database support auto increment,
you should have an object with a new ID. Then, you could always delete the old object if you
do not want it.
