I want to use oracle trigger for generating the primary key before inserting data to a table.

eg: TRIGGER_BEFORE_INSERT and that trigger uses an oracle sequence to generate primary key

what should i use for generator class in my hbm file.

I tried using generator class = select but that doesn't seem to work.

Could some one please help me with this.
