In using middlegen/hibernate plugin to generate .hbm.xml files, can the "unsaved-value" for an id field be set either through the GUI or in the perfs files? (Or in some other automated way so as to avoid adding it manually to each of the .hbm.xml's?)

IOW, I would like the plugin to generate this:

<id
name="actionId"
type="int"
column="action_id"
unsaved-value="0"
>
.....
</id>

By default unsaved-value is omitted.

Thanks,

At the moment no. The unsaved value is being generated depending on the type of id generator selected. This is on the TODO list.

David,

Thanks for the fast reply.

I'm using a postgres db with sequences. I understand that I can either use "native" or "sequence" as the id generator. Am I correct in saying that neither of these will generate "unsaved-value=0"?

I'm guessing that unsaved-value defaults to "null", so when I run hbm2java it assumes I'm using an object type for an id and my primitive "ints" are therefore converted to java Integer classes.

Is there a work around for this so that int id's be generated as ints?
