Ive RTFM'd and still cannot determine what to put in the generator attribute of the id tag. Ive been getting "The user must supply a JDBC connection" errors. Basically, hibernate can submit a null id to mysql and mysql will shove in the appropriate value. Anyone know how to configure this?

for MySQL auto-increment fields use 'native' as the generator. (5.1.4.1 in the docs)

The error you mentioned sounds like a data source configuration issue.

If I put the same JNDI name for the datasource in hibernate.properties it works. When I swap the hibernate.cfg.xml for hibernate.properties, I get this error. Maybe Im not specifying enough in the cfg file. Here is what I have.
