Hi all,

I'm looking for a really portable, scalable ID generator for my Hibernate based project. Hilo would be perfect (it runs on any database system) if I could use it in the application server (e.g. JBoss).

Is it impossible to make hilo JTA conform? It may sound stupid but why doesn't hilo run in a completely separate transaction, independently from the transactions using the IDs it generates?

If the transaction of hilo was independent, this whole "commit during a managed transaction" wouldn't come up at all.

Is there a way I could use hilo with JBoss served connections?
