hi,

I have following problem to solve:

we have a server with persistent objects managed with hibernate.
ids are generated from hibernate (uuid) and every object has a timestamp column.

our application have to run on a client who connects at startup to the server, read data from the server, store these data to the local database with the same structure (same mappings and so on) as the server.
After that the application have to run on the client the same way as on the server.

how can I store the persistent object on my local database with hibernate so that the id property and the timestamp property has the same value as on the server ?

what can I do if my object contains other objects which should retain here ids too ?

Hibernate 2.1 provides the replicate() method for this.

that would make me happy, I will download 2.1 beta 6.

thanks
